An old satellite set to fall to Earth in pieces will do so on Friday afternoon ET, but won't be over North America when it comes down, NASA says.

    lol So many conflicting stories today. Too many variables to predict it.
    It will miss NA according to this article.

    It might hit, according to this one:
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/ ... sfeed=true

    It might hit the US according to this one:

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ... 72646.html

    It will hit the US today, according to this one:

    http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/09/ ... rth-today/

    One of them will be wrong.

    NASA expects any surviving components to land between 57 north degrees latitude � about 300 kilometres south of the boundary between the territories and the provinces � and 57 degrees south latitude.


    That's a margin of error of 66 degrees or about 7326km. Pretty good "estimation".

    This just means the inclination of the orbit was 57 degrees. This estimate covers 100% of all the area the satellite passed over.

    Actually, we use the same word, but if I would translate it literally, it would be "koeiepoep" or more "stierenpoep" (since a bull is not a cow :lol:)

    It's down......

    Re-entry was believed to have occurred between 11:45 p.m. EDT Friday and 12:45 a.m. EDT Saturday. There were reports on Twitter of debris falling over Okotoks, a town south of Calgary in western Canada.

    There's no need. The Welsh language has five vowels, as many as English.

    By the way, Welsh has 28 letters in its alphabet:

    Damn. I was hoping the satellite would land on Dale Farm.
