Hello everyone. This may not be news to many of you, but I picked this up from today's BBC Sci/Tech page: Nasa engineers are about to begin shutting down the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) in order to crash it back to Earth on 4 June. Many scientists are upset that the satellite, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, is being deliberately destroyed.
