I watched the news yesterday that told us that the US satellite is going to crash on Earth, now this thing could land ANYWHERE. Let's make predictions on where this thing will crash. I vote anywhere but Utah.

Australia, so we can fine the US for littering again.

Wherever it crashes, it'll destroy the economy and bring with it space cancer that the FDA created but will deny a cure exists for even though they hold onto it! It's all a plot by Obama to get reelected so he can establish the United American Socialist Republic! Tell everyone!
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

Some really extreme left or right winger, so I can laugh when they try to blame it on the other side.

Well, since the space station that video mentioned crashed in Australia, if the falling satellite was anywhere near that space station was, it probably would crash in Australia too.

I hope it doesn't crash anywhere where it will be a problem for me. So I am hoping for somewhere like in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean.

I think there's a cure for cancer on that satellite and there's also a government conspiracy which aligned the stars so that it caused the crash of the said satellite. Also, Lena Meyer-Landrut is very cute.

It will probably crash in New Jersey, and promptly be given a reality show, because that is what happens to every worthless thing that happens to crash in Jersey.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

You're aware the Earth and satellites rotate at different relative speeds, right?

This has been known for about 2 weeks now. When I saw it ABC World News yesterday, I lol'd so hard. Funny how they choose when news is released by mainstream media. If I remember right, the original projection was "somewhere between Alaska and southern Africa." I know what you're thinking though, and yes I agree, that is extremely specific.

Here's to hoping it lands on one particular church group in Kansas. You know which one.

You do realize that what will be falling is debris, rather than the satellite as a whole? (Not that the chunks of debris cannot be dangerous if they hit a building or such, but probably not as catastrophic as if the entire satellite were to crash at terminal speed.)

No, it will be a whole. That's how it happened on The Simpsons and in a comic drawn by Don Rosa. Why would TV and Don Rosa lie to me?

Because Matt Groening and Don Rosa are part of the NASA conspiracy to keep it a secret and feed false information to the public.

So Don Rosa knows the cure for cancer?

The Simpsons also had meteorites burning up upon reentry to the size of a Chihuahua's head. The show is reasonably inconsistent.

Just because the size of my body is inconsistent doesn't mean you need to insult me in front of my people.
