Space Debris In Your Coke

[SquishMitten 10403]

Figured I'd fire this up again since we're only a few days out. They seem pretty confident in their lack of confidence on where this bitch is coming down so who the fuck knows. Anybody else still following this?

the day I am having I am rooting for it to land on me.  FUCK.

Can't we use aegis to break it into smaller pieces more likely to burn up?

[SquishMitten 10403]

Aegis is fiction, dumbass. We need real people like Bruce Willis and Steven Tyler

Zhu Congpeng, from China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporate said: "We have been continuously monitoring Tiangong-1 and expect to allow it to fall within the first half of this year."

"It will burn up on entering the atmosphere and the remaining wreckage will fall into a designated area of the sea, without endangering the surface."


Might as well say that since they have a 70% chance of being right.
And it says only one person has been hit by space debris. That has to be a cool thing to put on your resume.

Skylab has an oxygen tank land on a rabbit, but that was Australia and rabbits are invasive so it worked out.

[El Diablo 4232]

They've narrowed it down to either the southern hemisphere or the northern hemisphere.

[elfenix 34223]

apparently this thing isn't actually big.  would easily fit into the space shuttle's cargo bay.  1/9 the mass of skylab.

Antarctica has been ruled out, so 100 people can breathe a sign of relief.

Length or girth?

Then they'll know that Aegis disabled it in the first place.

STRATCOM latest prediction it will crash somewhere near Ascension Island I think.

Lol at “expect to allow it”. They have no fucking control over this.

Why are there no hot chicks sitting on that?

[clapclapclap 9000]

Because it's never really free with them.

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

Well that was boring.  Enters over the south pacific like all the other stuff.  Lame.

[SquishMitten 10403]

Alright. Just came out of my bunker. Looks like we're good. 

On a related note, anyone wanna buy a bunker? 

[El Diablo 4232]

Have we heard from Green Peace yet? It's possible it hit a whale or some other Sea Kreature.
