Falling Satellite heading for Adelaide

Just heard on the radio that the satellite that is heading towards earth may in fact crash in Adelaide within the next 24 hours.

Scientists say that they will be able to give about 8 hours warning before it crashes as to an approx location

The 20-year-old Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite is expected to break into 100 pieces, many of which will burn on re-entry.

But scientists said 26 pieces - some weighing up to 135kg - are expected to survive. The debris could be scattered over an area about 800km long

Now for the waiting game :shock: ~x( :ympray: :shock:

Propaganda.

Theyre probably saying on the queensland news that it'll land in QLD - and the same in Sydney etc...

It's tipped to land in the ocean somewhere between darwin and china :lol:

and people wonder why other people dismiss global warming, climate change and other speculative theories/ideas that scientists put up? How on earth could some boffin estimate 26 pieces some weighing up to 135 kg may survive. Why not 135 pieces weighing 26 kg or six zillion weighing 13 grams each? Complete bollocks.

More likely it's climate change.

Maybe they have some previous experience on which to base their theories. What knowledge do you have, apart from being a sky pilot, to base your theory that is is complete bollocks?

Do you mean the speculation about falling space debris measured in exact numbers and sizes or climate change which varies from expert to expert. I don't believe any of it and I think that is my right.

Gravity is groupthink!

Lots of things. Invented ball point pens, flea collars for pets, developed hockey sticks, put men on the moon and made steel boats float. Shall I keep going?
