Satellite falling to earth soon

[DJFyrewolf36]

I saw this on the news too...this thing is fairly old and Im sure that no one will be interested in old spy technology...especially if its scatered in pecies over a mile radius.

And its under water

...die in the stampede to see the thing that a) is in a gazillion pieces, and b) has landed in the middle of nowhere?

I don't think so.

Shades of Roswell, NM!!!

It may not land in the water, they are just "hoping" right now. Besides who knows what will be left of it. Seems to me there have been lots of space stuff that has come back in fairly big pieces and who knows what that thing has recorded on it's data bases.

There may be a stampede from people trying to get away from all the pieces as it comes down. No one knows yet.

Asteroid To Make Rare Close Flyby Of Earth January 29
ScienceDaily (Jan. 25, 2008) — Scientists are monitoring the orbit of asteroid 2007 TU24. The asteroid, believed to be between 150 meters (500 feet) and 610 meters (2,000 feet) in size, is expected to fly past Earth on Jan. 29, with its closest distance being about 537,500 kilometers (334,000 miles) at 12:33 a.m. Pacific time (3:33 a.m. Eastern time). It should be observable that night by amateur astronomers with modest-sized telescopes.

There was a report on our local news at noon today about the satellite. They said there is a good chance it will hit somewhere in the US. Since it's the size of a big bus, it probably won't burn up before it hits.

They said the government can't blow it up because that would make lots more parts coming at us.

They reccomended looking up in about a month and watching for it.
Now what do they think, we could out run it or something?

[Sevaede]

I wonder if they plan on doing anything about it?

Well, they may yell: "DUCK", if we're lucky.

They say if they blow it up it will just make matters worse. There would be lots of falling pieces instead of one big one.

ooo...that's scary. Here's to hoping it doesn't land on anybody (people or animal)

Would it be wrong of me to wish it to fall on my daughter's boyfriend

Again?

You'd think one already *HIT* there.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

So, the government has decided to try and shoot the thing down. Wasn't there a disaster movie like this only with a meteor?

As soon as I saw this on tonight's news, I thought of you Moff.

I sounds like it's more serious than I first thought. I hope they can safely
shoot it down out there in space.
