If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

From an old Brooklyn Dodgers fan....

"Wait 'till next year!"

Jeez, 2200 miles?  That's like nuthin' in terms of spatial distances --a little over half the radius of the earth. Compared to a golf ball, that's like a half inch away.

But there's still hope, Larry.  Maybe it was part of a swarm.

And there's always next year.

Hope springs eternally.

I guess I already missed it.  Did it take out any satellites?

I'm too disappointed to care.

Too small to be much more than a pretty light show anyway. Maybe some small rocks here and there but that's it
