JJonas Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Satellite Falling To Earth: Nasa Satellite UARS To Fall To Earth On Friday, Say Scientists | Technology | Sky News Two of the top rated comments... Be nice if it landed on Dale farm but the odds of that happening are too great , would make the job of reporting the crash of the sat to Earth a lot easier cause the media are there already Fantastic idea: this would save millions for the bailiffs and naturally restore the place back to it's former glory: into a scrap-yard - this time for space debris. You could even turn it into a space museum and Basildon council could make some money out of it.
jinnantonnixx Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I wonder how many fake crashed satellites will pop up on ebay over the weekend. Make sure you get a certificate of authenticity, kids!

JJonas Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Those are better odds than winning the lottery!!! 1 in 21 trillion for it hitting you vs 1 in 14 million for the lottery the 1 in 3200 is for it hitting anyone on planet Earth

tech_guy Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I'm standing in my back garden holding a EuroMillions ticket. What do you reckon?
6Foot2 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I'm standing in my back garden holding a EuroMillions ticket. What do you reckon? It depends on what you are hoping for. I would prefer not to get win the Lottery if it also meant that I had to get flattened by dead satellite debris at the same time!
mattx Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Please please please can it hit Nick Clegg. Amen to that. I hate that to55er.
