Satellite collision, no cause for alarm unless Iran involved


As the debris from this weeks 'entirely according to plan' collision between an American and Russian satellite spreads inexorably across space to harmlessly bump into some of the other 17,000 man-made objects orbiting the planet, experts have again raised the question of Iran's 'Evil' satellite launch.

Renowned space & science expert Prof. Walter Panzer of the AMC laughed off the possibility of further collisions, now correctly referred to as 'friendly mis-planned mid-space meetings', unless that is, the satellite launched by Iran last week had 'Evil intentions' to collide with otherwise happy AMC satellites.

He clarified the AMC position further in a press conference at Unity plaza saying, "In the unlikely event that more of our 17,000 satellites circling the earth in a ring of uranium, iridium, steel, and explosive fuel should have mid-space meetings, then there is little truth in the theory that it could set off a chain reaction similar to a crash on a motorway in the fog".

He added a cautionary note however, by stating that "We have no idea what the actual plan for the Iranian launch is, but that it will 'undoubtedly be used for evil'".

Lord Mesmo was monitoring the situation further from the AMC's 'Big Ear' DeathStar.
