Obama?

Thanks so much for the link!

Looks like its passed over the USA for the last time. If it lasts long enough it should pass over the border area in the Northwest.

I assume they have a pretty good idea what the range will be... but like the cops that tasered the father wanting to save his son from the burning house...

Target rich environment

[chiller]

I’ll go out on a limb and say there’s a 70% chance it touches down in water.

It’s a metaphor for the 0bama administration finally coming back to earth. Thank God.

[cripplecreek]

This pass is taking it up over the Indian Ocean then Saudi Arabia.

“It’s going to land in the ocean and nobody will notice but a few fish.”

“What happened, Bud?”

“I don’t know, Dad. Flipper seemed to be trying to warn me about something when this Volkswagen bus came hurtling out of the sky and crashed into him!”

“Filthy, stinkin’, communist, dolphin-killing hippies!”

How will that affect the GOCEsat that’s about to re-enter and burn up? Will it crash into the son’s burning house? Will the cops taser the pieces of the satellite?

[Jack Hydrazine]

Is it bound for Mecca?

[cripplecreek]

Looks like it will be east of Mecca.

[Ghost of SVR4]

Well played sir, well played.

This page seems to be working. Real-time latitude, longitude, and altitude. 140 miles up and falling:

It's grown in size:

"A defunct satellite from the European Space Agency the size of a Chevy Suburban is set to plunge to Earth"

Looks like it's over 0/0 Island.

Thanks!!

We all should be OK with our foil hats on. They are made of metal right?

[Spruce]

Isn’t a satellite falling back to Earth how almost every bad sci-fi/zombie movie starts?

Mecca.
