Yeah but isn't the issue over the time it would take for the pieces to fall into the earths atmosphere? Two weeks does sound a lot better than, say 10 years i'd think. |
What determines time before descent is mostly orbital stability, not the object's height above ground. By further disrupting orbital stability at high altitude, the drama would have been over a lot sooner.
