ICESAT reentry ends orbital mission

As I mentioned in this post, ICESAT was being prepped for a fiery demise in Earth's atmosphere. Well, it came down Monday (August 30) over the Barents Sea, and apparently nothing hit anybody. This was a mission well-done, from start to finish, and it taught us a lot.

Too bad the global warming skeptics still don't get it.

ICESat takes a plunge to conclude successful mission
