    At least it didn't hurt anyone, it could have fallen onto someone's house, while they were sleeping, driving , walking etc.I'm glad they kept an eye out for it. The question is can it but harmful on earth.

      although i do agree that it was iresponsible just to casually just throw it over board like that where it could have fallen on something more serious than an ocean,i also feel its nasas responibility to go an recover the object an dispose of it properly an to make sure they take better care with large objects such as that,how would you feel if it had hit a home or a car with people inside,you would have been responsible legally

            I'm pretty sure he was talking about the word "discusting" should be disgusting! Not making fun just answering your question

              *disgusting* not *discusting* common mistake though. Don't be so harsh--I am sure you never make mistakes.
