Subject: Idiots: U.S. and Russian satellites collide Thu Feb 12, 2009 4:37 pm
Two space satellites have smashed into each other for the first time, destroying the two devices and sending debris hurtling at 25,000mph through space.
The American and Russian devices collided around 485 miles above Siberia - and directly above the International Space Station - on Tuesday at 11.55 EST (04.55 GMT).
'We believe it's the first time that two satellites have collided in orbit,' American military spokesman said.
