manshimajin Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 NASA Risk Evaluation Just hope that this will not be coming down between Singapore and Auckland on Saturday this week (or anywhere else where there are people). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Chances are pretty slim it's going to hit anyone. If the whole world population can stand in one area equivalent to the Isle of Wight...that leaves a big arsed sky and big arsed rest of the world for it not to land on.

x-in-man Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 ".. there has been no confirmed report of an injury resulting from reentering space objects." That'll be ever since the American in charge of all re-entry records unexpectedly disappeared in a large crater shaped hole one night while star gazing.

wrighty Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I hope it comes down in my back garden, how much is it worth to the yanks. It'll still belong to them apparently, so don't try selling it on eBay otherwise the feds will be round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lxxx Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 They're so full of shit. This is to co-incide with the comet Elenin too hey, which is supposed to align with the sun and earth this weekend, so they tell us, causing natural disasters across the globe. It's all fear porn, they like to keep people on their toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
