When space junk attacks

The headline in El Reg says it all:

Spy Satellite to slam Earthside: Could contain hazardous materials, just like The Andromeda Strain

Satellite in question being a probable Keyhole series (just think, “Hubble Space Telescope pointed down at your bedroom window” to get an idea of the usefulness of these Trailways bus-sized testaments to Western technology).

The article includes a nice black and white still from the movie showing one of the actors just after they went through the epidermus-cauterizing deconamination procedure.

Oh, what the hay. Here it is (along with humorous caption):

Scenes like this…could soon become commonplace
