With billions of dollars invested in supercomputers and billions invested in every type of PHD, these overpaid clowns guess that it might possibly land SOMEWHERE. I would suspect, given the equipment and data from NASA, several high school geniuses could do a better and more exacting prediction. I predict NASA will alter their prediction, after the space craft crashes, to show that they predicted it.

Orbital Decay - Altitude Prediction Graph

The prediction graph is a plot of perigee & apogee over time (thus dual lines) actual altitude oscillates 16 times per day. There are three pairs of lines, the original prediction pair, the revised prediction (f=1.5) and the actual observed.
