    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.

    Charlie.
