The Tiangong-1 space station, which is hurtling towards Earth carrying a 'highly toxic chemical', will likely hit sometime between March 24 and April 19...
Exactly where it will hit is slightly harder to predict, although experts agree it will be somewhere between latitudes of 43° north and 43° south.
On September 14, 2016, China made an official statement predicting Tiangong-1 would reenter the atmosphere in the latter half of 2017. (???)

That said, I have to consider the possible ebay price for a nice hot chunk of Chinese Skylab?
Knowing it’s coming in at a shallow angle it should be getting a pretty good burn time. There may not be much left to find.
You cant expect the same sweatshop laborers who make cheap goods you can at the Dollar Tree or 99 Cent stores to produce quality rocket parts! Nice going China!
We should hit it with multiple SAMs just to prove a point
Where can we see this being tracked and do any of the booking sites have odds up yet?
Lasers if we had them working.
Are you certain that USA sweatshop labors are that much better than Chinese sweatshop labors?
Objects memory may appear better than they were.
Never underestimate your enemy.
A good script for an Apocalypse movie. CGI could go crazy with this - or - set up cameras when the impact area becomes known.
Then too, I can see some people taking repeated Selfies, with the incoming space junk in the background - growing larger by the second.
More like Sumtingwong-1.
Oh now that’s a suplies! NOT!
Please be Mecca.
“Lasers if we had them working.”.....
Call on a U.S. Naval Destroyer, they have such weapons. Not sure how far out their lasers can/would reach but may be an option.
Thats ALL the Islamists need is another mysterious object that fell from outer space to worship.
Hopefully it has tons of hydrozine left!
I have been watching it here:

If we could only secretly direct it to hit Teheran, Pyong Yang or Chappaqua.
Maybe the spacecraft can be put to good use by somehow directing it to crash into D.C.
Tiangong doesn’t mean Wormwood, does it?
I’ve done a little sweatshop labor in electronics recycling and resale and I think the Chinese guys would do better.
Two trips to the ER for essentially organ failure in my time there. The wun’s fantastic employment climate.
Thanks calljack. I bokmarked it.
