Which two decades was that?

The following article suggests that nobody has yet been killed by a falling man-made satellite
- And they estimate a 10% chance that a falling satellite could kill somebody(s) in the next decade
- They are obviously excluding the German space rockets that were launched during World War 2 (...they were ballistic missiles and never actually entered orbit, so could not be considered "satellites").
