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.

Jeebus Listy.
You usually post such good shit too.
Dayum.

He'd like that a bit too much for that to ever occur.
Too nice for the likes of this establishment.

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

And other such fucking nonsense.

The arc of the moral universe bends towards chaos.
People who believe God or History are on their side provide the chaos.

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.

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.
