UARS coming down!

Satellite tracking of UARS

any guesses???

I think the water, between Mexico and Florida, or the Atlantic.
There is a 71% chance of hitting water anyway.....

We need a betting pool... Take a map of the expected impact area, draw a grid over it, sell squares for $5 apiece, and when all sold, draw the numbers and letters of the x and y axis out of a hat to assign them to rows and columns.

Even so, we may still get to see it. I saw a Russian rocket upper stage re-enter about 22 years ago. It was incredible.

On the news they said theres a 1 in 3200 chance that it will hit someone. I dont know about you but im thinking those arent fantastic odds!

Wait , I pull what first?

Well I think that 7 billion people might factor in there as well.

I'm thinking that the bomb shelter in the back yard is looking better and better.

Seriously, way to early to tell, but not to early to freak out a lot of folks.

Nope, I was just going to crash in yours for a while.

I like the betting pool idea, other than the fact there will be more than one piece hitting. Do you go with point of first impact or wherever the largest piece hits?

My two ex wifes live a couple miles apart in Orlando, Fl. If there is a god?

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Yeh but only a 1 in a million chance it will hit some asshole. Funny how that works.

Awesome things God does, eh?

Vskydiver and I watched one of those from our back porch. Very impressive. It was up in Northern Canada, but I would have sworn it was right over the Space Needle in Seattle.

Just an important safety reminder - According to an AP article in today's paper, NASA advises that if you happen to find a piece of the satellite DO NOT PICK IT UP!! "The space agency says there are no toxic chemicals present, but there could be sharp edges." We don't need anyone getting unnecessarily cut out there!

You can't prove that.

That can't be right. It's proven fact that there are 2 assholes per 7 people in the population.

I think that number may be a little low. That's my opinion, anyway.

I know what you mean. There were lots of people being interviewed by the news the next day saying stuff like "it came across the lake and then it went down back behind my neighbor's chicken house. We took off looking for it, but never did find it."

I think it actually struck the ground over a thousand miles away.
