Cleopatra Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 There is another satellite due to fall back down to earth at the end of October/begining of November. This one is Germany's baby. It's reckoned that there is a 1 in 2,000 chance of somebody getting hit but again they don't know where it will land. Do you think these falling satellites could be further damaging the ozone layer?

Dizzy Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Whatever goes up has to come down sooner or later but you would think with the technolgy available these days they would at least have some idea as to where and when They can monitor and track everything else so why not their satellites? Can they not destroy it before it comes down or as it is entering ? Well here's hoping it doesn't land on me.. but if it does at least that's something interesting for my decendant's to look back on. Great aunt/grandma/cousin/whatever "Dizzy" was squished by a german satellite as she was posting on Warrington Worldwide forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleopatra Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Dizzy, it will break up into several peices as it enters earth's atmosphere so, if you do get hit, it won't hurt as much. Mind you it could still kill you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Perhaps they could bring back ARP Wardens to spot incoming? Sounds like a job for Geoff's volunteers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 How can something fall out of the sky and kill you but not hurt ? Saying that I have never died so I guess you must mean the end will be quick and painless which in itself is a blessing I suppose and one of the better ways to go when your time is up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Settle Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 OBS must be worried he has such a big head that he's bound to be hit fortunately it won't do any damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 What strikes me (pun intended) is that using satellites you can navigate your car to any destination (apart from the one you programmed in) you can take pictures so clear that you can read the newspapers on the street from several miles up. YET when one off the buggers comes down they are lucky if they can tell you if it will hit the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
