Rogue TOXIC space station will crash into San Fran

[Rob Lister]

If you weren't breathless of the fur banning thread, this will certainly frighten you.

Rogue TOXIC space station could crash into Earth NEXT WEEK

AN OUT-OF-CONTROL space station packed with “cancer causing” chemicals could hit a number of major world cities, Earth has been warned.

I'm rooting for San Francisco.

Jeebus Listy.

You usually post such good shit too.





Dayum.

[shemp]

I'm rooting for it to fly up Listy's ass.

He'd like that a bit too much for that to ever occur.

Too nice for the likes of this establishment.

Piffle. It has to be toxic and radioactive.

[sparks]

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

"Well, I've been chewing Skoal for 50 years now and I can't understand why my lower lip fell off..."

And other such fucking nonsense.

70% of young Brits are 'not religious' (BBC)

But are they "spiritual"?

"Spiritual"=="I know something is out there that loves me, I just don't know what it's really all about yet."

It's a fucking cookbook you foolz.

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".

Damn. Wrong thread.

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.

From NBC:


Can someone interpret this mess for me?

Thank you.

[Rob Lister]

So what should we expect? How big is that thing. For comparison ...

Communist Pinko Red Chinese Tiangong Space Station
Mass 8,506 kg (18,753 lb)
Length 10.4 m (34.1 ft)
Diameter 3.35 m (11.0 ft)

Democratic True Blue American Space Shuttle
Mass 2,030,000 kg (4,470,000 lb)
Length 56.1 m (184.2 ft)
Diameter 8.7 m (28.5 ft)
Mass 2,030 t (4,470,000 lb)

Well then. Our old space shuttle could eat that thing for breakfast.

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.

Kudos.

[Rob Lister]

Ed, I speak for myself and the totality of my dusky staff when I say you're more than welcome

[sparks]

ed? Got any extra room in the fallout shelter?

[ed]

Doors closed and locked already. Sorry there chief.
