n an unprecedented space collision, a commercial Iridium communications satellite and a defunct Russian satellite ran into each other Tuesday above northern Siberia, creating a cloud of wreckage, officials said today. The international space station does not appear to be threatened by the debris, they said, but it's not yet clear whether it poses a risk to any other military or civilian satellites.
"They collided at an altitude of 790 kilometers (491 miles) over northern Siberia Tuesday about noon Washington time," said Nicholas Johnson, NASA's chief scientist for orbital debris at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. "The U.S. space surveillance network detected a large number of debris from both objects."

Since video games began, we’ve had creatures from outer space either trying to befriend us or trying to eradicate us from the face of the Earth. But regardless of what they’re up to, you’re bound to have a good time whenever extraterrestrials are around.

Sufoit.com has been dormant for a while...for far to long. I attempted to program a user update-able site but it was taking longer then I hoped. I stumbled across a site that offered what I was trying to create. So i deleted all my hard work and began to learn how the new software works. Sufoit.com is running on the new software and I like it. I will be adding content as time permits but fell free to sign up and add your own content. I will be adding new features as time go one and cleaning up the current template to make it a seamless easy to navigate site.
