A European satellite that was put into orbit in 2009 has fallen back to Earth, and there has been no reported property damage so far. The satellite was put in place to map Earths gravity field, and lasted 3 times longer than what was expected. How would you respond if an object the size of a car fell in your yard?

I would probably be really freaked out. Once I found out what it was, I'd think it would be cool to see something from space so close up.
Wouldn't the satellite mostly burn up falling back to Earth? I think it would be neat to have a satellite in you yard, but hopefully it wouldn't hit anything.
well... if something that big fell into my yard I would freak out. I think it is cool that it lasted 3 times longer than it should have but they should have made a self destruct button or something like that to disintegrate it or something.
If it didn't cause any damage to my yard or house I actually think it would be pretty cool.
haha,I like your answer
The only bad thing is you would have to help clean it up.
