Default European Space Agency's Goce satellite falls to Earth

A good thing this burned up as it re-entered the Earths atmosphere

The European Space Agency's (Esa) Goce satellite has re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, burning up in the process.
US tracking data suggests any surviving debris fell into the South Atlantic, just off the tip of South America, south of the Falkland Islands.
Dubbed the "Ferrari of space" because of its sleek looks, Goce is the first Esa mission to make an uncontrolled re-entry in more than 25 years
