correction - it's just the 18-ton first stage "core" that was used to launch one of the pieces of their station

no whammies...no whammies...no whammies...STOP!

Shirley, you can place a bet on where it lands, right?

[Clackles 276]

Today I learned that New York and Beijing are on the exact same latitude.  Seems interesting that that exact latitude is also the border of possible landing.

[El Diablo 4232]

I'm feeling lucky today, I'll go with Florida.

I have a co-worker who is legitimately afraid this rocket is going to land on her.  She is...an interesting person.

Why can’t Space Force just blow it up into tiny pieces to help them burn up in reentry? Dumb Guardians cant seem to guard shit.

Yeah, my first thought was to send up Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck and Owen Wilson to blow it up.

Can Marjorie Taylor Greene and her followers re-aim that Jewish Space Laser up there and shoot the fucker down before it hurts anybody?

This is actually a good question - I would think the AF or SF would be all over this as an opportunity to test one of their ballistic missile intercept systems

Here's hoping it splashes down rather than plastering Biff's coworker

So are we doing squares? Reentry bingo? Not to be confused with a NowThis favorite game rearentry bingo.

Well, you could pony up and become a paying member. The other option is beg a mod to fix it.

I say there's a 50% chance it lands in the Pacific.

if we can't track and calculate manmade object re-entry by now, what the fuck happens with some big meteor threat?

I'm glad they narrowed it down. Saw a news headline that said it has a 70% chance to land in the ocean, like no shit, right? Earth is 70% water.

the next great mass extinction event, wiping out the current dominant life form (us) and allowing the evolution of a new dominant life form. Some would say that would be cockroaches, but I'm going to go with the longshot-- ants will rule the earth when we are gone.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13515]

Since China has frequently rained rockets on their own citizens during rocket launches, something tells me that they're not the most concerned right now.

[Guest Lobo]

How come Bruce Willis and his team didn't horizontally drill on the meteor to break it up more effectively?  Is there a fracking ban on meteors or some shit?  Thanks a lot Obama!

"Dem Chinese dun attacked us 'cause of back when Patton called on us Aggies to whip China after dey bombed pearl harbor and we saved America in WWII.  They didn't learn dey lesson when dey tried us again years later when we entered their homeland of Vietnam and won another war for America so now they're dropping bombs on Reveille's grave because it's sacred American land! " - aggy

Can't Rich Purnell do some steely-eyed missile man stuff and figure this out on where it's going to land?

If there is any justice in the world it will land on an elaborate gender reveal party.

you are looking live at indoctrination station where preparations are complete!

Great, let’s wake up Godzilla again.

I was only half listening to the story this morning, but apparently when our rockets fall back to earth there is some level of guidance or something to make sure it lands in a relative general area.  The Chinese apparently just said fuck it and let the chips fall where they may.
