[FPSPACE] Russian launch due

[Dirk Devlies]

Hello,

They just told in the national news (Belgium 28/12/2000 - 9:00 UT) that the
rocket and it's payload probably crashed in Siberia or in the Barents sea.
It was a civil/military mission. Crashing to earth might pose health riscs
they added.

Seasons greetings to all.
