Just read at MSNBC that a large U.S. spy satellite will hit Earth by the end of February or early March.

CNN just ran the story about 20 minutes ago, reporting a hit. No details, and no information whatsoever about how direct the hit was. The only "information" given was that the satellite was traveling at orbital velocity (first cosmic velocity to our Russian friends), roughly 17,500 mph, and the impactor was going about 5,000 mph in the opposite direction. (Yeah, I know, it's olde English imperial units -- but it's CNN, after all.)
