42 thousand pounds falling out of the sky and they only have a general location of the hit zone.
Saw an interview with one of the Space Station guys and he talked about how crowded it's getting up there.
Says he took three space walks and spent some of each trip patching small holes cause by debris hitting the
station.

Jebus! Everyone seen the beginning of Gravity?
It sounds like this really is going to happen eventually.

With Space-X making the trips look so easy these days more and more people/countries are going to want stuff in
orbit.
 
It's mostly going to burn up on re-entry. And the odds are great anything left will hit water or unhinhabited land. Remember when Sky Lab fell? I wasn't alive yet but that must have been crazy. Some pieces might still be in Monkey Man's backyard.
 
Ya, although the whole Columbia pieces falling across states still haunts the shit out of me.

I'm more worried about the Gravity scenario. The astronaut last night said something along the lines of
whenever we hear about stuff falling to earth a lot of the smaller pieces stay up in orbit.
 
There isnt any rocket crashing, them lying gooks will say anything. fuck em

Of course, all the tiny stuff burns up when it hits the atmosphere, Donnie, but there's a shit-ton of garbage up there.

I've heard rumblings that sometime this year there's finally gonna be a concerted effort to clean things up. I know in the past there's been discussion about targeting objects with lasers and burning them up, something that could conceivably (and necessarily IMHO) be automated, but the larger items present more-challenging problems, both logistically and financially.
 
I like , it’s called the Chinese rocket cause it’s from China.

Did they report on the size of the bigger pieces that survived the re-entry?

There were reports all over the middle east of seeing the fireballs but China claims "The vast majority of items were burned beyond recognition during the reentry process" but you can't believe a word they say so...
 
Well, everyone was watching and I guess if something big did get through
it would have gone down like the thing in Russia a few years ago.
