In 1957, this editor was in Seventh Grade surviving Catholic School. The Soviets had just launched Sputnik 1 and there was excitement in the air about the potential for man-made satellites.

Our teacher, one day, worried aloud about what might happen of two satellites collided.

Good Morning, Sister! Wherever you are today, your worries were well-founded: Intelsat has lost control of the Galaxy 15 bird, can't steer it, can't turn it off, can't shut it up. And it's starting to wander. Near the end of May, Galaxy 15 is expected to move near the orbit of a second satellite, AMC 11.  All of these communication satellites operate on the same radio frequencies but since they're not very near each other, they don't interfere.  Well, they don't interfere when they stay in place.  If engineers cannot back AMC 11 out of Galaxy 15's way here are the cable and broadcast channels that could be adversely affected which include Nashville-based CMT and Great American Country LINK
