Weather Satellites Are Slippery?
 

This probably only "amuses" me but...
"Satellite-handlers at Baikonur accidentally dropped the MetOp-A weather satellite, according to reports dated Saturday. How much (if any) damage the satellite suffered is still unknown. Link. Some butterfingers at Lockheed Martin dropped a similarly instrumented weather satellite back in 2003."

Maybe I should be worried, considering at least one of my satellites is expected to launch from Baikonur next year, but the fact that it's a weather satellite made me chuckle....

Dola,
As I re-read this, I can concede it's probably only amusing to me. What can I say, it's been a horrible day, when I think of "weather" I think of ice and rain (slippery), and...well, I'm in the industry. I seriously need help. ;)
