I don’t believe they did not know where it was landing. I also wonder why they went to the astroid to study it rather than going to this equipment to blow it up.
They are just breaking eggs - too many humans stinking up their globe anyway. Human life is trash to them this administration. I want congressional hearings on this. The priorities here are up-side-down.
To: jpsb
If one person gets killed by the government’s equipment falling from space, that is 100% too many lives sacrificed for the them. They could have blown it up in space.
To: alancarp
LOL, OMG, you’re right! Be wild if it came down on Roswell. The govt would never live it down.
Where is Bruce Willis when we need him????

Since San Fransisco is in proximity to the projected crash zone, maybe we’ll get lucky and it winds up landing on Pelosi’s head.

The track I posted was calculated by the Heavens Above site using my lat/lon and request fot visible passes. Not a guess, but the bird may crash before that point in time.

My policy specifically excludes “space debris”, natural and man made. I chuckled when I read it but now...

Hopefully, it will fall on the UN building. I'm rooting for Mecca, myself.

Sorry about that. Not in the spec. Rev 2.
I've been in military aerospace manufacturing and a fair bit of it was a corrupt racket.
IIRC, the Russian system, which existed before SDI, simply sends a nuke up there to blast it. Maybe we should put out a contract on it.

Odds of being hit by a piece of it 1 in 3200. Seem kinda high to you?If those are the odds, then 10,000 people in America will likely be hit by pieces of it.

"... landing on Pelosis head." Wonder if anybody would be able to tell the difference in a before/after picture?

The difference is that in this case the scientists (or more likely engineers) are saying “We don’t know” which is a whole lot more credible than “The science is settled”.
