The BBC reporting a 6 tonne satellite falling back to Earth.
NASA insist that the chances of it hitting someone are minimal at only 3200:1
Which means you or I am 4500 times more likely to get hit by a satellite than winning the lottery
If you're lucky it might just demolish your house instead! *Checks insurance papers*.
Insurance is up to date thanks
My son worrying about who he should marry... he is 6....
I think the satellite is probably going to land somewhere near Sittingbourne in Kent, judging by the preperations one particular lady has made he he!
is it really going to land on someone??? wont it burn up upon passing through the atmos?

They believe some of it is too big to burn up, so will impact somewhere (they hope the pacific at the moment.)
Anything that does hit the ground is the property of the US Government but that also makes them 100% liable for any damage.
