An amateur astronomer has recorded images of the out-of-control US satellite as it tumbles back to Earth.

I really need to know if I should take my tomato plants inside now or wait until Friday.

So much for earth being soooo overcrowded

Do it NOW. Are you crazy? You kids and pets can run....tomato plants are sitting ducks. Don't ever take chances with tomato plants. "Things" can be replaced but not 'maters.

I hate to sound totally ignorant, but don't we have the technology to send a missile up to intercept an out-of-control satellite so that it doesn't crash land?

Cuz your roof will totally protect them.

Very good advice! Everyone should take note!!!!

This whole thing with UARS is fishy. Did it happen before?

stop acting retarded. that shit will burn up during reentry before it hits anything.. and anything that does make it through will land in the pacific. no doom here, just retards

Yes we do, the Navy shot one down a couple of months ago, in a show they could do it, and because it failed to reach orbit properly. It was a spy satellite too. :-)

So if it falls on someone and kills them is it considered murder?


The sky is falling, the sky is falling

Hmmm, I wonder how many insurance companies will claim it's an "act of God."

Cheaper to just let it fall...maybe it will take out a ghetto :)

From the article, there is a link to his webpage. He is a very interesting guy! I saw this following page yesterday, from his site, but couldn't get it to open:

Click on the arrow in the square box, in the middle, and be patient.

Check this out, it's wild!

It's a shame Astronutsack is too busy shilling to have the time to capture cool images like this.

:wavebird:

video sux

I picked mine as frost hit here last week.

Why is this the only footage of this and from an amateur on the 15th?

You would think NASA or others would have better footage of this and if so then why is not being shown like this?

It says in the article not to touch it...what if it "touches" me?

Collateral damage is always inevitable & do you think NASA & the US goverment give a shit?

What day is this thing supposed to come down? This Friday is it?

Added: Here's a link to track the satellite. Came from another thread on this same topic last week:

Yes, but number one It's too late for that
Number two, how else can we start the DEPOPULATION PROCESS???

I keep hearing Thursday, and then Friday, and then Saturday, I guess we will know when IT LANDS ON US!!!

Right down to your new screen name, you get the "you made me spit dr. pepper" laugh of the day....Dayummm.....that was funny. GOOD POST!!!!

Nasa did an upgate today they say the satellite was 120 miles above the Earth and due to impact on Friday. NASA will issue further updates 24 hours before re-entry, then at 12, six and two hours before re-entry.

They say the orbit puts its path between the latitudes of 57 degrees north and south. Mainland Britain lies between 50 and 60 degrees North. The satellite spends more time at higher latitudes, so there is a slightly higher risk in those regions.

fueled by plutonium, don't forget

they keep raising the odds of death. It was 1:25000 then 1:10000... now 1:3200
