UARS is now officially off track! T-minus impact on earth. Make a guess where it will land!

Link to REAL TIME SATELLITE TRACKING isn´t working for me. Somebody can say the altitude of the UARS right now?

Can you imagine the cluster **** that will happen if it hits a populated area in another country. I can see the special presidential committees forming now....another bill for us taxpayers to pay. If that were the case...then I say China is where it will hit...they've got most of our money already.

That's what I've been saying too.

I don't care what country it hits, if it does damage and there is a loss to human life, NASA and the US will surely be to blame and it will not help our global PR at all!

Just another reason for other countries to hate the US.

In Italy we had a BREAKING NEWS today:

satellite will fall somewhere in NORTH ITALY, this means my area is at risk...

Between 7: 15 pm of September 23 and 5 am of September 24.

Knowing my luck it will probably land on the house i just bought and havent moved into yet, before i get my home owners insurance.

Man i would be so pissed, 90K bucks down the tubes.

You can buy a house for 90k?, where's that?

Nevermind, I see it now: Arkansas.
.

Hopefully it doesn't say "Manufactured by Wormwood Industries" on it anywhere....just sayin'

If that were to happen god forbid, you would have to ask yourself one simple question...

Who did I piss off in another life?

I don't think it's working for anyone. Not sure why, maybe the calculations are changing too fast to track? I wish it would, I was hoping to watch the final descent.

im gonna guess the ocean, but knowing my luck its going to hit me

From the article:

They have restricted the area at risk in 200 KM that will be restricted more and more later today.
They will be certain ONLY BETWEEN ONE HOUR OR 40 MINUTES BEFORE IMPACT!!!wtf

Pieces that go from 158 kg to 6 kg.

26 fragments potentially dangerous could disperse themselves in a area of 600 km around Italy.

No evacuation because they would have to evacuate 20 million people!!!

We received instructions to avoid open places tomorrow night and high buildings.

make a bit of sense....

this. or the ocean for that matter cause there is ALOT of it lol.

It changed its course? Are you sure it is not being guided in somehow? It left Africa was over in the Indian ocean an now headed back to Africa?

I'll take Australia for 1,000 Alex.

Its Italy. Read above. The certain area is now North Italy...They have restricted an area of 200 km, with 26 fragments , potentially dangerous , that could fall 600 km around North Italy.

What area is that going to be? It is no longer coming to the USA. I was hoping for Washingon dc myself.

It's going to fall onto the members of Westboro Baptist Church doing ALL of humanity a HUGE favor......

"The spacecraft could pass over Britain during its final passes over the planet." From the BBC. Just going to check the household insurance policy, as I'm sure there's nothing in there about getting wiped out space junk.

I just hope it doesn't land on Arsenal FCs trophy cabinet. It would be a real shame if all their trophies were dest...........Oh wait, never mind..........................
