How, in Hell, are they going to "control the descent" of Mir? Mir is Huge, Awkward, and EXTREMELY UNSTREAMLINED, and I'm sure they don't have even a fraction of the power they would need to slow this thing down. I'm wondering how they even got it up? Was it assembled in orbit? If it was launched pre-fab, then I can see why it's giving out, imagine the stress on the structure! With that shape, and the age and condition it's in, they would have to really be snailing it. If they can't keep it slow, than it'll break up, Armageddon anyone?
Perhaps the debris will be vaporized by the atmospheric friction? Or maybe they're hoping it crashes into someone they don't like? What about the fish? PETA where are you? Greenpeace?
I was HSed, and I am very happy! American culture produces "gays" (ruined a good name), with movies like American Beauty! JESUS RULES!!! Liberals eat dirt!
Red Planet is OK+ for A Sci-Fi. The Matrix (nirvana) is a much better movie than American Beauty! The Matrix is fun to watch, and it makes you use your brain, NOT, American Beauty which has an ugly middle-aged suburban guy molesting his daughter's teenage girlfriend! I read this kind of plot in the newspaper's "Police Blotter"! As for American Beauty being "Drama", it's really BS!
