    Yep. Debris come falling in quite a bit. Most of it burns up, but on a very rare occasion it makes contact with human civilization. No worries here.

    Well, someone could get hurt in the stampede to get to the thing. I guess it has "info" the government doesn't want to fall into "the wrong hands", according to a news blurb I heard earlier today!

    I highly doubt it will make it through the earth's atmosphere without burning up completely. Don't lose sleep over it.

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

    Well, it went up without burning up. It's likely to come back down the same way.

    Uhhhh ... Not so ...

    It went *UP* with a sharp, pointy end out in front to protect it ...
    It will be falling *down* without that protection ---

    The fast speed developed in the fall, together with the extreme heat caused by
    friction (air drag) will no doubt fry most of it to dust before it hits the earth.

    They "*HOPE*" it's going to fall into an ocean.

    Way too early to tell where it's going to fall.
