A 10 metre long 60 ton satellite dropping through the ozone will mostly burn up in the atmosphere, but I wouldn’t want it to hit my back garden, because when it does it will still be the size of a small car. Most satellites use some kind of an RTG generator and unless you like leukaemia don’t go touching any parts of it. :tounge_smile:
 
I'm not buying it. I'm touching it if I get chance to. In fact I'm moving it to a secure location and will flog tickets to go see it. (Perhaps that'll compromise the secure location a bit though - idea needs more thought)
 
Pity I can’t get access to a plasma cutter now. £1000-00 a slice!

Think I’ll be playing Tasmin Archer tomorrow morning.


Or even better it will fall in line of a certain street in Nottingham and wipe out two pubs.
 
We won't know until two hours before where it's coming down and then we will have to be quick to get our hands on it before the pikeys do. :yes:
 
we should all have a quid punt on picking a location where its going to land and closest gets it :) knowing my luck i would win as the dam thing dropped on me :cry_smile:
 
It’s coming over-head us right now, falling at a rate of about one mile every two minutes. Done some calculations and I’m going for the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand.
 
I don’t need a hard hat boss. I passed the satellite plumb bob test and I suffered no ill effects.
