Green Bastard Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I could think of a couple people that I wouldn't mind them being struck down by a chunck of satellite debris. May not be such a bad thing if my boss is standing outside Friday lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 1 in 3,200? That's pretty good odds. Roughly 100,000 people across the US will be hit by debris. 1.8 million around the globe. Which is amazing for just 26 pieces of satellite.

I'm thinking I have an excellent chance of finding a piece if I just stand outside and keep my eyes peeled. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 It's a 1 in 3200 chance the ANY person will get hit, but one in a couple trillion that you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 It's a 1 in 3200 chance the ANY person will get hit, but one in a couple trillion that you will. I like my version better. I pictured 26 satellite chunks bouncing from head to head around the globe, beaning people unaware and causing chaos. :lolguy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 "The SatelliteAR Android app has added a temporary feature that gives stargazers the ability to monitor this space junk's trajectory to avoid impact when it re-enters the atmosphere sometime later today" https://market.android.com/details?id=com.agi.android.augmentedreality&feature=search_result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
