Boeing evil! Am I right! (laughter)

It was probably space garbage, and that's seriously alarming.
- You should look at some numbers before saying "probably". It was much less probably space garbage than just Boeing. "Much less probably" here stands for "completely fucking irrelevant".
- There are many organizations tracking space debris and most of it is in LEO, where this satellite was not.
