    Interesting link showing the current position of Chinese 'export' to your neighborhood perhaps. It'll be overhead me in VT in 10 min.

    Reentry expected sometime in the next 19 hours or so.

    Bets anyone?

    Nothing like having a school bus land in your living room.

    The amount of idiocy here is amazing. It will break up, burn up and debris rain down over a 2000 km path.

    So what exactly is news here?

    btw by mass Tiangong is only 50th largest object that does an uncontrolled reentry.

    The largest is Space Shuttle Columbia and 2nd place the american space station SkyLab.

    At 28066.78 km/h I'll accept the 'short bus' impact as long as that Hogg idiot is aboard.

    It's current news. It doesn't get more current.

    I've got the live feed on monitor #2 and am enjoying conversation about it on engineering.com.

    Issues Sobo?

    China's Tiangong-1 space station will crash to Earth...


    China’s first space station is expected to come crashing down to Earth within weeks, but scientists have not been able to predict where the 8.5-tonne module will hit.

    The US-funded Aerospace Corporation estimates Tiangong-1 will re-enter the atmosphere during the first week of April, give or take a week. The European Space Agency says the module will come down between 24 March and 19 April.

    In 2016 China admitted it had lost control of Tiangong-1 and would be unable to perform a controlled re-entry.

    The statement from Aerospace said there was “a chance that a small amount of debris” from the module will survive re-entry and hit the Earth.

    The Vermont Governor has activated the Air National Guard to deal with the foreign body from space. We've put the best man on the job!

    Here's a recent satellite from Russia that re-entered. I'm not debating or calling people names, just posting a video.

    Another video inside a spacecraft, it shows how big the earth really is and any craft is really just a spec and could most likely just land in the ocean.

    I agree. The difference is, we rise. We rule Europe today. And you? You fall. Lose evry day international power. Thats your problem. The idiocy of your people just a symptom.

    Why are you so decidedly unpleasant?

    Also, are you actually trying to compare the German space program to ours? Don't embarrass yourself.

    True, we lead the market. We have more satellite launches than you do.

    We also have a spacecraft sitting on a comet, one on Saturns Moon Titan. Far more outside than you ever have landed.

    Come back when you managed to land on a comet.

    And for being unpleasant, i see no reason to be friendly to "people" i see below me.

    You have no space program. Just as you have no friends.

    ESA is #2 in space exploration, in my estimation, and that is not a bad place to hold!

    Wow, you even attack him in a thread about space debris.

    How sad for you.

    That is an obsession; or at the least, a fetish. Do you have a fetish for Hogg, or an obsession?

    It was not a German mission, it was a huge collaberation, including NASA.

    It also failed to secure itself, landed in the wrong place and the battery died 2 days later. The landing was a huge accomplishment, however. I mean, not as insane as putting a man on the moon and bringing him back, but you guys did put a hell of a camera on that little sleeping drone.

    Oh... so you are superior to us because of your accomplishments? What are those... specifically? Or do you mean to say that you are inherently superior because people that live near you are, in your opinion, superior?
