Look up, Canada--the space junk may be falling on you!

"A defunct NASA science satellite is expected to crash back to Earth on Friday, showering an estimated halftonne of debris on the ground below - possibly in Canada.
Although scientists are not sure exactly where the impact will be - and stress the chances of anyone being hit are extremely slim - a large part of Canada's land mass is within range of where it might fall, including all major cities."

And if I'm crashin', you know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the satellite to crash on you.
And I would fall 500 miles,

Just to be the junk that fell 1000 miles
to crash upon your door.

hit Western Australia when it came down 30 some odd years ago? This one isn't as big. Hopefully, like lightning, falling satellites don't strike the same place twice.

It came down just outside the town of Esperance, after NASA had claimed it had landed in the Atlantic  Maybe someone should buy them an Atlas 
Wonder if that means we should start ducking again...
*giggles* Just read a postscript on an article from back then, that said the Shire of Esperance fined the US $400 for littering over the incident

So since this one is supposed to hit Canada, maybe Earl or Sador should be ready to dive for cover? I have a feeling we will all be watching the sky over the next few days. Day of the Triffids anyone?

(Resident of michigan for all my 53 years. Really, Canada is a lovely place.)
"That is one thing that Men call 'hope.' Amdir we call it, 'looking up.' But there is another which is founded deeper. Estel we call it, that is 'trust.' It is not defeated by the ways of the world, for it does not come from experience, but from our nature and First Being. If we are indeed the Eruhin, the Children of the One, then He will not suffer Himself to be deprived of His own, not by any enemy, not even by ourselves. This is the last foundation of estel, which we keep even when we contemplate the End. Of all His designs the issue must be for His children's joy."

went over my house and landed about 15 miles away. It was in the middle of the night, and it lit up the sky like full sunshine along with a sonic BOOM!!!!! Freaked out everyone in a 30-mile radius!!!
Very cool :D
I can't imagine what some of this debris will do to the sky.
