No One Knows Where Rocket Will Land - Videos from The Weather Channel | weather.com Could land most any place in the orbit ,within reason.
The idea that they lost control is one that I would question. I would tend to believe that they just didn't give a rat's ass where that thing comes down as long as they accomplished their mission. They've done this before and their debris damaged buildings along the Ivory Coast. This is irresponsible as best.
I truly hope it hits the USA or Europe. Let them try to talk and buy their way out of that...like they do everything else. I'm still betting they lost control of this damn virus in their lab, letting it off the leash then refused to tell the world until they absolutely had to do so...and then only telling some BS story about some wet market.
Kinda reminds me of SKYLAB! As I remember parts of it rained down on western Oz. The USSR had a highly radioactive satellite crash in northern Canada. It might be a good idea to place explosive charges aboard spacecraft that could be detonated as they reenter the atmosphere and allow the smaller pieces to burn-up.
No guarantee on any of that. Better to let it come apart in mass as a way to track it or not. Too small a explosion and it splatters all across the world. Then again if their planned maneuver would have worked it would already be down.
Wouldn't it be something if it hit the white house whilst the resident's are home! Or, maybe it lands in down town Potland, right on the mayors house, but i would just be happy if it landed in one of the thousands of homeless camps!
