It is. My money is on Luxembourg.

9/22/2011 9:04:15 AM

didn't they say earlier in the week that today they would know roughly where it should land?

9/22/2011 9:05:37 AM

you mean crash?

9/22/2011 9:07:28 AM

^^ What I heard the other day from the NASA dude they were interviewing on NPR was that predicting where this thing will crash is like predicting where a penny will land when dropped into a deep fountain.

9/22/2011 9:13:56 AM

Isn't it more like spinning a globe and predicting where your finger will land?

9/22/2011 9:25:39 AM

pacific ocean or the field?

9/22/2011 9:30:43 AM

Gulf of Mexico near Panama/Columbia

I can't believe if they are just slightly off, that satellite could fall hundreds of miles away from the target.

9/22/2011 9:49:52 AM

Kearaunothnetophobia.

9/22/2011 10:16:09 AM

"As of 7 a.m. EDT Sept. 22, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 115 mi by 120 mi (185 km by 195 km). Re-entry is expected sometime during the afternoon of Sept. 23, Eastern Daylight Time. The satellite will not be passing over North America during that time period. It is still too early to predict the time and location of re-entry with any more certainty, but predictions will become more refined in the next 24 to 36 hours."

^^^^^

It's moving at 5 miles per second, so if they miss the entry time by ten minutes that's the difference between San Fran and New York.

9/22/2011 2:09:05 PM

Pacific Ocean

9/22/2011 2:16:03 PM

Just nuke it out of the sky into dust particles that will fall on North Korea.

9/22/2011 3:33:15 PM

RIGHT NEAR DA BEACH, BOYEEEEE!!!!

9/22/2011 3:49:43 PM

if you took pacific, you are a winner.

9/28/2011 10:14:20 AM

they should have sent a mining crew up there to plant a nuke in the center of it then when they blasted the nuke it would split the satellite nearly missing both sides of the earth.

unfortunately a man would have lost his life. more unfortunately, Ben Affleck lives
