No, I don't think I do have to admire someone starving out thousands of farmers to retrieve a phone that certainly was already destroyed from immersion. Please follow up on this story through the summer as crops and people die due to the selfish actions of this blithering moron.
Someone buried the lede in this story. A white laser? Last I heard, physics didn't allow that. Okay, I looked it up, and it's actually an RGB laser. Refracting it won't make a whole rainbow, just the 3 distinct wavelengths.
I'm not sure a large mass of pugs, cooked on atmospheric entry and then splattered to a thin paste sprayed all over the area of impact would be very adorable.
I used to work for a company that manufactured LED keychain micro-lights. The owner of the company had a framed letter from Krikalev on the wall of his office, detailing his time on the Mir as it was falling apart around him. There were times when the only working light on the station was one of the company's micro-lights held in his teeth as he frantically kept the life support working long enough to live for the ride home.
