U.S. space officials say they expect a dead satellite to fall to Earth in about a week.

NASA scientists have calculated the satellite will break into 26 pieces as it gets closer to Earth. The odds of it hitting someone anywhere on the planet are 1 in 3,200.

TAKE COVER!!!!

LOL - ouch, I expect the chances are that most (if not all) of it will end up in the sea.

The worst thing it could hit would be an airbourne commerical airliner!

wonder what the chances are of that...

Not that likely, probably, since they said that they'll know the approximate area where it'll fall within 2 hours before the thing falls. I should hope 2 hours is enough for air traffic to be alerted/diverted. If there's one industry that can never be too careful about safety, it's definitely them.

Go out and see if you can catch it on your tongue, like a snowflake.

papa_smurf · 09-19-11, 02:46 PM

You think they could aim it for somewhere empty - like Australia
