Will We Ever Know Where NASA Satellite Really Fell? One thing is for sure. A dead NASA Climate satellite definitely fell back to Earth early Saturday morning but NASA seem not have an idea as to where it landed and exactly where it has gone. Can NASA really have lost a satellite?

The need for faster broadband is not only felt here on Earth, but NASA has found that its current 6Mbps connection with Mars is just too slow, and has been trialling laser-powered 100Mbps broadband.
