I have been following the TIANGONG 1 on satview and it just started flashing. It went from time to reenter to re-entry window. Could change though but this is the first time I have watched it go into a re-entry window.

No, a different site that was specially tracking that space station says in the Atlantic Ocean:

11:33 PM, Sunday night. Claims the space station is now down about 7 minutes ago: About midway between the Brazil and West African coast.

Don’t forget Bill “Spaceman” Lee, pitching for the Red Sox, who once quipped (after a record-short-duration game), “With Skylab falling, you have to pitch faster.”

I’m living in Germany now. Metric is best for science/technical uses. But the units are out of whack for daily use. The kilometer is a short unit of distance so useful highway speeds are in the triple digits. For height, you have to use fractions of meters. Useful temperatures also require fractions, as Celsius degrees are too big.
Traditional units were based upon daily use, and are much easier to handle for normal life. Which is why the metric system was mostly imposed around the world by government fiat. When you go to the U.K., nominally a metric country, speeds and distance are still in miles/mph and weight is in stones/pounds ( 1 st.= 14 lbs).

"Dont forget Bill Spaceman Lee,"
If you like sports books - pick his biography up - it's hilarious, classic 60s/70's hijinks and full of baseball history.

to this day reject any metric measurements, cause, I am a murican, not a Euro weenie.
Problem is, some things stuck. For instance, because two liters (67.6 oz.) is a tad more than a half-gallon, pretty much all big bottles of soda had to start go to liters so that the competition could claim a better value. Also, it is really hard to find a medical strength (outside of aspirin) described in grains instead of milligrams. The U.S. system was developed before anything outside of pharmaceuticals and gunpowder needed really small measurements.
A bigger problem is that we have a partial metrification of our system using the American labels. One advantage of our system is that most of our measurements have numerous factors. A quarter-pound is four ounces, a third of a foot is four inches. Our system is fraction heavy, while the rationalist Metric system forces everyone to use decimals, and sometimes having no commonly used measurements between very small measurements (gram) and pretty big measurements (kilogram, as nobody seems to gotten in the habit of using decagram or hectogram). Still, that small bag of potato chips no longer states 1 3/4 ounces, but 1.75 ounces. Silly.

And in Canada, the ovens are still in Fahrenheit, though the thermostats are Celsius.
Also, for things that people HAVE to know, Imperial is still used often. For instance, the parking garage clearance in the Edmonton mall parking garage is in feet and inches, so that people don't tear the roofs off of their big vehicles.
