China Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 7 Missing Wonders By JENNIFER SARANOW November 9, 2007; Page W1 With as many as 1,500 active satellites orbiting the Earth and the human population approaching seven billion, you'd think that everything of value on the planet would have been discovered by now.
