Interesting...thanks for posting this Marie.  That linked to a cool site 
that gives re-entry data.  According to the ground tracks, I could not 
have seen the Centaur..what I saw matched the Delta III more, but that 
hasn't crashed yet.  Oh well...
There is so much junk up there.  If someone could figure out how to 
clean up orbital junk safely, they'd be a bazillionaire.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will 
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius 
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the 
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone 
are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve 
the problems of the human race"
