Yeah, I know, it just interests me that this was all darn near in the missile range facility backyard. How convenient was that? We are going to get a lot of mileage out of this one.............

I think the meaning was which will “de-orbit” faster, not fall faster.

I believe I saw the lights of the three ships on the horizon this morning about 0600 on the way to work, probably heading back to Pearl. I’ll go outside in a bit to see if they are coming in. Ought to be interesting to watch the response here in the harbor as they pass by.

Yes, that is true: smaller pieces will de-orbit faster, but not fall faster.

Read your comments about the trailers provided.

My children were in one for over 15 months and have never been well since. Constant coughs and colds and always ear problems for the 5 year old who was 2-3 at that time. Third set of tubes to be inserted and 3 infections since Thanksgiving. 5 weeks of coughing colds for the adults this winter too.

I will always wonder.....
