...spacecraft will break up into approximately 500 pieces, with most weighing less than ten pounds, NASA officials said. However, the air lock shroud weighs 3900 pounds and the lead film safe weighs 5100 pounds. Both objects are likely to strike the earth at speeds greater than 260 miles per hour...

This leads to much yelling between them and much misunderstanding of the rules and traditions of boxing once she takes a hand in his training.
