How cool would it be if it hit Gadaffi?

This thread reminds me of the IotD about space junk.

So, did it fall yet? Could it be among the rubble in my front room?

OK, remember the Crying Indian? He was so sad about the polluting of the earth.

Well, the Crying Alien is none too happy either. I'm only partially kidding.

Even Willy Coyote could not hit the road runner by dropping things from a cliff. What chance does a satellite have when falling so far from space?

FYI, if you pick up pieces of it, the feds can send you to jail. That's bullshit. Finders keepers. You drop something on my property without me specifically asking for it, it's now mine. (Unless I don't want it, then it's littering.)

Washington D.C. would be a great place for it, just not your house but the White House and Congress would be a great start...

Awwwww.... lamp are you wishing me and my family bodily harm from falling space junk?

I don't know what others may think about this, but these odds are actually pretty high....

Quote:

Nasa put the odds of anyone being struck by a falling part of the spacecraft at one in 3,200. The individual risk to a particular person is much less – one in 3,200 multiplied by the billions that live under the satellite's flight path.

The Aerospace Corporation, a private firm that is tracking UARS, offered a more specific prediction, saying the satellite would likely come down off the coast of Chile at 6:06 p.m. EST.

I had no idea lamplighter also controlled space, time, and matter.

I really need to get to know him/her better.

Only time UARS can harm the Cellar or Washington is at 4:08 hours on 23 Sept. Only time UARS can threaten Savannah GA is 5:39 or 19:50 hrs. Only time UARS can threaten London are 00:48, 1:42, 3:12, 23:34 on 23 Sept and 1:05 on 24 September. London is a more exciting town.

Even Podunk Michigan is more exciting than Washington or Georgia. Watch those skys at 4:06, 5:38, or 21:21 on 23 Sept.
