(Kosmos 482)

Are we certain that it won’t land 12 miles outside of Piedmont, Arizona?

The town doctor can open it up.

WHAT could possibly go wrong?

[A_Former_Democrat]

With a bit of luck, it will land on the Kremlin

[dfwgator]

Haven’t seen that movie in years.

(Temperature on Venus is 467 °C, 872 °F.
Pressure is 1,350 psi or 93 bar)

Okay, so we need another song

This is how the original Night Of The Living Dead started.

I think it was an F-4 Phantom II
that flew over the town but it’s
been awhile since I saw it.

The Soviet Venus mission(s) were major feats of engineering which have never really been surpassed in fifty years.

I'm OK, I just bought a deck umbrella.

...it's very nice.

Can we buy Kosmos-482 insurance in case we get hit?
(Remember the Skylab insurace policies from way back when?)

1100 pounds at 150 mph doesn’t sound like much of a threat.

[packagingguy]

I have my fingers crossed for Martha’s Vineyard to be the crash site.

Your roof must be a lot more robust than mine.

Small target.
The greenhouse is larger and needs work anyway.

Where is the 6 Million Dollar Man. He took care of the Venus probe last time.

[BradyLS]

Oh, NO! That danged Venus tank the Soviets built is coming back to earth! 😧

It was an episode of the $6 Million Dollar Man. Now it’s for reals! 😄

[desertsolitaire]

Have we been there yet?

[BradyLS]

GMTA!

What is its power supply? Is it pu239? Is it SR90? Russians used sr90 in thermionic generators. Either one of these and it could be a pretty big problem.
