March 29, 20187 yr Zhu Congpeng, from China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporate said: "We have been continuously monitoring Tiangong-1 and expect to allow it to fall within the first half of this year.""It will burn up on entering the atmosphere and the remaining wreckage will fall into a designated area of the sea, without endangering the surface."Might as well say that since they have a 70% chance of being right.And it says only one person has been hit by space debris. That has to be a cool thing to put on your resume.
March 29, 20187 yr Skylab has an oxygen tank land on a rabbit, but that was Australia and rabbits are invasive so it worked out.
March 29, 20187 yr They've narrowed it down to either the southern hemisphere or the northern hemisphere.
March 29, 20187 yr apparently this thing isn't actually big. would easily fit into the space shuttle's cargo bay. 1/9 the mass of skylab.

March 29, 20187 yr Can't we use aegis to break it into smaller pieces more likely to burn up?Then they'll know that Aegis disabled it in the first place.

April 2, 20187 yr satview.org looks like it's over S Pacific now... Edited April 2, 20187 yr by Matuka geography, how does it work?
April 2, 20187 yr 24 minutes ago, clapclapclap said: Sorry, it missed. Why are there no hot chicks sitting on that?
April 2, 20187 yr Well that was boring. Enters over the south pacific like all the other stuff. Lame.
April 2, 20187 yr Author Alright. Just came out of my bunker. Looks like we're good. On a related note, anyone wanna buy a bunker?
