I never go on news1130.com at home and I'm kinda happy I did after reading this. Perfect time to go out side chill and smoke a blunt :fuckyea:

NASA gives 1-hour window for satellite's plunge to Earth - News1130 (http://www.news1130.com/news/world/article/280866--nasa-gives-1-hour-window-for-satellite-s-plunge-to-earth)

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (NEWS1130) - NASA is narrowing the time frame on when a five-tonne satellite is expected to collide with Earth.

NASA said late Friday that the satellite is now expected to fall from the sky between 8:45 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. PDT.

Canada and Africa are in the potential crosshairs, although most of the satellite should burn up during re-entry. The United States isn't entirely out of the wood as the possible strike zone skirts Washington state.

Satellite updates are available at NASA - UARS (http://www.nasa.gov/uars).

I thought they said it might strike northern Italy?

Let's have a mini RS meet to see which one of us gets lucky.

Does ICBC cover Satellite debris damage?


All kidding aside, I thought it was not going to poop in our neck of the woods.

At first they said it would just crash into the ocean, then Canada, now US. They have no idea where it's ending up fo sho.
