And now over to ____________ with the news

NEWS INTRO

-------------------------

In today's news, debris from a Chinese rocket is expected to fall back to Earth in an uncontrolled re-entry this weekend. The rocket is around 40,000 pounds which makes it one of the largest items in decades to fall back to earth in an undirected path. Most of the vehicle should burn up when it makes its final plunge through the atmosphere, although there is always the possibility that metals with high melting points, and other resistant materials, could survive to the surface. The chances of anyone actually being hit by a piece of space junk are very small because so much of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean, and because that part which is land includes huge areas that are uninhabited.

Now to the juniors with the lunch
