Russia loses control of gecko sex experiment satellite[^]
The engine of the Foton-M4 satellite, with several experiments on board, has stopped responding to ground control. All other systems are intact, the Progress space centre stated, including "one-way" transmission of information. [...] The Russian Space Agency, Roscosmos, said the six tonne satellite could continue to operate on its own "for a long time".
I wonder if any of these Geckos was called Major Tom[^] ;)
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Sign a petition calling for the boycott of Israel until it returns to its legal 1967 borders.

They regained control as of yesterday. http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n1407/26fotonm4/#.U9Y8AYV252M[^] said the six tonne satellite could continue to operate on its own "for a long time". And no, unless they raise its orbit, it won't. Marc

'Long' being a relative term... compared to the life of a fruit fly.

Perhaps Russia can claim insurance reimbursement from GEICO! PS. For those not in the US, GEICO is an insurance company that uses a gecko in its advertisements.
