Toxic, radioactive. WTF is the difference except how one dies?

I'll readily admit that religion is toxic (and good riddance), but fail to see a link with the space station.
Religious beliefs crashing here and there?

Sometimes I wish I had named my daughter Debris, just so she could correct everyone and say "No, it's pronounced Deb-riss".
Such potential!

Latest estimates put reentry at sometime between March 29 and April 4. The location is still anyone's guess, although it should be between 43 degrees north and south.

For one I think it is wrong.
The ship does not orbit the earth at the equator so it's path along the ground traces a sign wave north and south that peaks at 43 degrees north and south.
I do not understand why they think the edges of the orbital inclination north and south have a greater probability; it doesn't spend any more time there than in the middle. It does
look that way when you plot the inclination as a sign wave on a flat map projection but that's an illusion.

And, Rob, I think I speak for all of us here when I say that I am profoundly grateful that you have brought this incipient danger to our attention so that we can take appropriate action.
