UARS Satellite debris to hit U.S
« on: September 24, 2011, 06:33:25 AM »
UARS debris falling around the world including Africa U.S. and Canada. It is the size of a bus and has an estimated 1/3200 chance of hitting a human so be on the lookout  :o


pretty late to post this news without reason but the reason i decided to post this is because i just saw what appeared to be 3 orange sphere's shooting through the sky pretty damn fast! they disappeared half way so i'm guessing the pieces burned up in the atmosphere.

 
It's over 9000!

If they're only about the size of a bus, the friction of them entering the atmosphere will leave nothing left.
We should be fine.
The thrill in playing a game does not come from our chances of winning. It is the weight and pressure of losing that fuels our fascination. It is why people challenge, why they gamble and why they compete. The adrenaline that comes from defying defeat is what motivates us.

supposedly a double Decker bus and the NASA nerds said it is the largest satellite to crash into to earth but still 1 in 3200 i think most people will be fine some unlucky dude might take one though

Yep, between midnight Friday and early this morning (ET time, whatever that means, Eastern probably, I blame CNN >.>)

Anyway, Silver, not everything in the satellite would be (well, had) disintegrated. There are parts the NASA people knew would fall. And I haven't heard of anything since it fell.
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?
