(OP) Senior Forum Moderator 10/13/2020 07:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That's not how this works. Just because they collide doesn't mean the debris all rains down at the sub satellite point of the collision. In fact much of it will remain in orbit for years to come if that were to happen and pose a collision threat to other low orbit satellites. Some of it may end up on an immediate suborbital trajectory, but that does not mean it automatically lands in Antarctica. Some of it could even re-enter half an orbit later on the other side of the world. |

LOL I had the target on the tee shirt with printing saying Skylab! Ken My personal thoughts & posts are mine alone. I Love God, Jesus, good people, and the U.S.A. the way the Framers signed the Constitution and Bill of Rights. In my real world life I don't have a problem with standing up to those with solid evidence of corruption from either side, of any issue or place. Many are they in this world that need to be rooted out. That makes me a target to be destroyed by very powerful people, I understand this. At some point we have to stand up for what is right before God. I have done this, lived this way, and will continue to do so till they finish me off or I croak of natural causes. |

You can't even see the landing sights with Hubble. Mainly because it's not designed to look at the moon, but looking at a site 230,000 miles away is pretty hard to do with a telescope. I believe in science NOT religion. Giving me bad karma for that, is anti-religious (you're passing judgement) I am just a man. Of no significance. Who found religion to be full of lies, and wrong doing, conflicted teachings I understand microwave communications. I do not stand for the NWO, it sucks. |

What's the odds that this 1989 Russian Satellite have a nuclear reactor on board. Those Crazy Russians like to put nukes on everything... Imagine the nuke reactor going critical as it smashes into the Chinese booster rocket. Imagine that reactor striking the Earth and raining down nuclear debris...  |
