A Sandia supercomputer has found that the space body causing the Tunguska explosion, which destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres and thousands of animals, in Siberia in 1908 was 3-4 times smaller than what first thought. Humans should pay attention to these smaller space bodies for the sake of millions of lives.

On Tuesday, December 18, 2007, NASA engineers on the ground found that a bad connector was causing fuel-gauge sensor problems. All the while, NASA astronauts in space found a bad motor that was likely affecting the space station’s solar wing-tilting mechanism, but still could not pinpoint the problem with a damaged solar rotary joint.
