Wonder if we’ll be able to see it burning up.

My pick for touchdown is still Roswell.

If it comes down over US territory, you couldn’t miss it. The times it’s scheduled to be over the US will all be near or after sunset, depending on where you are. It’s supposed to make quite a light show when it comes down. If it’s announced that it will come down near a populated area, you can bet some one (probably more than a few people) will be out there with a video camera.

I’m hoping along the US/Mexican border and we finally get a fence.

As usual for most astronomical events, Ohio is socked in
and will be for the next couple of days.

NASA's current view per its website:
"There is a low probability any debris that survives re-entry will land in the United States, but the possibility cannot be discounted because of this changing rate of descent.

“... finally crossing the Pacific Northwest (entering off the Oregon coast, crossing between Portland and Seattle, and exiting the US around northern Idaho).”
Great! It’ll probably land on my house!

I wonder how many people actually realize that Idaho borders on Canada? Somebody’s going to try to correct that, lol.

I’m hoping it lands in my front yard. 300lbs of titanium has to be worth something.

Here’s a link to live real time satellite tracking of UARS. I was able to open it earlier, but it timed out just now, maybe try again later.

It’s as big as a bus and weighs 6 tons. It’s all going to burn up supposedly? I’d rather not even see it if it means possible chunks falling in my area!

Are they in the process of moving out of harms way as the reason for being too busy?

A chunk of Columbia landed two miles away from my front yard back in '03. I'd rather this one would come down elsewhere.

Imagine that bus sized space junk breaking up into a few dozen chunks and those chunks travelling at super fast whatever speed and glowing super hot bashing into a dozen buildings and starting more grass fires in the drought areas all across a 500 mile area.
Where's Bruce Willis when we need him?
