      satellite heading to earth

      NASA Tracking Satellite Heading for Earth | REALscience

      The news said we have about a 1 in 3200 chance of getting hit by it. Meaning I'll have more of a chance to die in one of the rarest ways imaginable than winning the lottery.

      At least your chances of winning the lottery are greater than being an astronaut

      Wouldn't this be the perfect time to test one of those fancy anti-satellite missiles?

      I'd love for pieces of it to land in the woods near my house - what a cool adventure it would be to go looking for them!! Just so long as none of it lands ON my house, or anybody elses!

      It should put on a fantastic light show with all those metals burning up during re-entry.

      Um, that's 1 in 3200 for someone to get hit, not you lol The chances of you specifically getting hit are much lower.

      I would also love to see this crash. Cummoooooon Sun, push it a little harder to Australia!

      Question for all: If you found a piece, would you keep it?

      Certainly. Unless it has a Gov't barcode label on it, it's fair game...

      Even then, that just guarantees you'll get super powers

      I think it was like 1 in 1 billion or trillion or something.

      And hell yes I'd keep it. In like 50 years, I'd be all like rocking on my rocket rocking chair saying "Yup.. back in my day, I went outside and found a piece of an alien spacecraft" this is assuming we haven't met or discovered aliens.

      Yeah tommo has pointed out Auron's slight derp.

      Also I read it's not going to fall in North America.

      I'll be donning a hard hat, anyway.

      Sorry about that. Also rules to building a satellite:

      1. Build a satellite
      2. Make sure it doesn't crash in our own country.
      3. When it heads back to earth don't use the missiles, other countries will reverse engineer them.
      4. Make sure your space program is canceled before it lands. Who are they going to sue now?

      Pretty sure whatever substantial pieces that were left ended up in museums, it's a big desert though...
