Space junk to hit Canada

[Rocky]

A piece of NASA space junk the size of a bus is going to land in Canada sometime around Friday - give or take a day. At about 30,000 kph it should be quite a bang.
I guess I had better start wearing my helmet

Well there goes the neighbourhood and just when I commented on how neat and clean it all was your side. I think you may need to wear more thank just your helmet

Draw a grid on the ground, make each square as big as a bus. Don't let any of your family stand in the same grid as another at any time between now and the impact time. You know, minimize the chances of a family disaster.

Rocky, don't forget to duck!

Or draw the grid and then sell chances as to which it will land in.

The chances of it hitting a human they say is 1 in 3,200

Well if they were taking about the lotto then I would be out but something like this I would probably be a winner

It's OK if it hits a human; but don't let it hit a polar bear or a whale. We will never hear the end of space exploration threatening the extinction of wildlife!

Good one Carl

I'm glad our population is only about 34 million so that helps the odds

I'm told that if you have a powerful enough telescope, set to the correct azimuth coordinates - you can faintly see this logo on the falling satellite:

All I could see was a red X

 

[CarlS]

Rocky, can you see it now?

 

[Rocky]

No. still can't see it.

 

[CarlS]

OK, can you see it now?

 

[Rocky]

Yes, I can see it now.....and wish that I hadn't
Sorry, no offence to any Harley fans here.

Looks like you dodged the bullet, Dave may want to find a hardhat or be prepared to duck. Latest news this morning said it will be south of the equator.

There is a news headline here that bits may strike the US too Friday night into Saturday morning.
Hard to know what to believe.
