NASA Warns People NOT to "Steal" Satellite Parts!

NASA's 6-ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) is expected to fall back to Earth late tonight or early Saturday (Sept. 23 or Sept. 24 EDT), raining more than two dozen large chunks of debris on the surface. But don't even think about keeping a piece for yourself. Should the public find parts from the satellite where they fell or, since current projections suggest an ocean splashdown is more likely, after being washed ashore, NASA is warning people to stay away for both safety and legal concerns. "If you find something you think may be a piece of UARS, do not touch it. Contact a local law enforcement official for assistance," NASA wrote on its website two weeks ago after it became evident that UARS's fall was approaching.
