20,000 Pound "Bus" To Hit Earth "Dead Pool"
January 28, 2008 | Doc Savage

Posted on 01/28/2008 6:07:19 AM PST by Doc Savage

Take your best guess as to where the 20,000 spy satellite (big as a bus!) will crash to earth. Winner gets lunch with Hillary. My guess...

1. SuperBowl Halftime!

I’ll go with the odds and say, somewhere in the ocean.

The “when” doesn’t worry me as much as the “where”. Of course, the possibility of getting hit is probably about 0.0001% or less, LOL.

Let’s get out the ASAT weapon and have some target practice. If the Chinese can use them let’s try one of ours. I hope they didn’t *really* retire them way back.

What is the inclination of the orbit? Sure, it is more likely to hit water, but the question is which body of water.

It’s going to hit some teenager named “George” on her lunch break somewhere in the Northwest,

Most likely in an ocean, but I wish it would land on Ahmadinajad.

If it misses the water, there’s a 80% chance it hits within a mile of a Starbucks.

Mindy & Bubba Trailer Court and Bait Shop, Lot #13, Powhattan AR. St. Patrick’s Day. No injuries, mobile a total loss, however, the 1979 Trans Am on cinder blocks beats the odds and is saved.

Great minds do think alike!

The best would be for this thing to come down right on the black meteor during haj season; so we would need it to stay up there for another 10 months or so.

No developed weapons system gets ‘retired’, it just sits on the shelf until needed.

Probably sun-synchronous, meaning it's at about 98 degrees.

And it will be picked clean of all the copper and other material in it in minutes. lol According to my brother, Col US Army, everytime they want to do training where he is they have to rebuild the training sites because the locals have scavenged them so badly.

That was my hope. It had such a nice test. September 13, 1985 if memory serves (I could be way off) but I think that’s when they shot P-78 (?) out of orbit with the ASAT fired from the F-15.

Remember, he shoots the AK-47 and takes down about 10-20 guys in one pass, over and over. Then his clip runs out and more bad guys are coming. So he picks up a handful of bullets and just throws them at them.

They all fall down, LOL.
