Re: Heads Up! Satellite Falling To Earth
That would be really freaky !There is a few hours window on the estimated re-entry time so it could be anywhere on the orbit.
As another commentator said, "I'm going to take a blowtorch to an old motherboard and head for eBay ...".

Re: Heads Up! Satellite Falling To Earth
I like to live dangerously. I've been out and about most of the day. Out for dinner later so if it could wait until we're just about to get the bill, I'd be grateful.
