Key Hole?
Sue the bastard!!
She was walking all alone
Down the street in the alley
Her name was sally
She never saw it
When she was hit by space junk
In new york miami beach
Heavy metal fell in cuba
Angola saudi arabia
On xmas eve said norad
A soviet sputnik hit africa
India venezuela. In texas. Kansas.
It’s falling fast
Peru too
It keeps coming
And now i’m mad about space junk
I’m all burned out about space junk
Oooh walk & talk about space junk
It smashed my baby’s head
And now my sally’s dead
Shall I assume it goes over Florida?
“He said the satellite would create 10 times less debris than the Columbia space shuttle crash in 2003”
One time less is zero. I think what he meant to say is “one tenth the debris”. As it is, it makes absolutely no sense. I suspect the journalist is the one who screwed that up.
Same thing happened in the early 80’s with Skylab. I think it ended up crashing down in the ocean.
Didn’t the Chinese destroy a satellite just to show the world that they could do it?
Do you think our government is going to let that go unanswered?
We just want to look good doing it, IMO.
The sky really is falling!
Where it lands will be difficult to predict until the satellite falls to about 59 miles above the Earth and enters the atmosphere. It will then begin to burn up, with flares visible from the ground, said Ted Molczan, a Canadian satellite tracker. From that point on, he said, it will take about 30 minutes to fall.
This was from the latest article at Drudge. If its at 173 miles and falling at 1640 feet per day and it will enter the atmosphere at 59 miles unless I did the math wrong it wont reach that point for about a year? It moving down at about a mile every 3 days and needs to go 114 miles to reach the atmosphere? Does anyone have any info to share on this?
