Out of control 21-TON Chinese rocket is falling to Earth and nobody knows where it could land

WHUT R THE ODDZ...JOEY?!..UH.

It's a complex subject few here understand. A decaying satellite is being gradually dragged down by earth's atmosphere, but the exact density of the tenuous upper atmosphere will vary with solar activity and the amount of drag will vary with the attitude shape and density of the satellite. There are a lot of variables there, some of which change over time and are hard to accurately predict. This means the exact decay time is unknown. Right now, this site predicts a decay occurring one week from now, but with an uncertainty of 41 hours. That uncertainty will decrease as we get closer to the decay, but even within the last day there could still be one orbit or more of uncertainty.

With asteroid collisions, there is generally a region of uncertainty that may intersect with the earth and make it hard to predict an exact location, but if the impact does not occur within a fairly tight window of time then it will not occur at all as earth will not be at the intersection point when the asteroid crosses earth's orbit around the sun.

Pleeeze land in the District of Cockroaches pleeeeeze.

I'll put up 5 bucks...an ocean. It will land in an ocean.

Any takers?

IT IS 'NOT' A SATELITE...IT IS A ''ROCKET BODY''!!..UH..!

That was a whole truckload of words that tried to sound smart but in fact all you did was confirm his point that they don't have a clue.

how do you guys choose who to gangstalk and write about them being asteroids and space ships and shit?

Fuck NASA and Fuck China...I'm keeping it and selling it to the highest CASH bidder...

Question. I was watching ALT falling just now, but now its rising the closer it gets to Antarctica. How is that possible if the rocket was falling?

That would be because its orbit is elliptical.

Fuck NASA and Fuck China...I'm keeping it and selling it to the highest CASH bidder...

If you don't understand why there's such a large difference in the time uncertainty between a satellite decay and a possible asteroid impact, that's on you. I explained it in detail. That was not "to try to sound smart." I am smart. I made a good faith effort to educate you, your ignorance is your own doing at this point.
