They probably have a good ides but are not allowed to say due to panic. Plus the news channels need to get setup to run the high paying commercials and the hawks need to decide which country get smacked.

When everything is ready, the secret space command will send a ship over to push it into the atmosphere.

Panic? Shit. Half the country's following the Itai's advice and buying neck braces. Hahahaha

I knew I should have keep all those braces. I scrapped them after Skylab crashed.

Update #9
Thu, 22 Sep 2011 09:01:35 PM CDT

As of 9:30 p.m. EDT Sept. 22, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 110 mi by 115 mi (175 km by 185 km). Re-entry is possible sometime during the afternoon or early evening of Sept. 23, Eastern Daylight Time. The satellite will not be passing over North America during that time period. It is still too early to predict the time and location of re-entry with any more certainty, but predictions will become more refined in the next 24 hours.

Update #10
Fri, 23 Sep 2011 09:45:08 AM CDT

As of 10:30 a.m. EDT on Sept. 23, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 100 miles by 105 miles (160 km by 170 km). Re-entry is expected late Friday, Sept. 23, or early Saturday, Sept. 24, Eastern Daylight Time. Solar activity is no longer the major factor in the satellite’s rate of descent. The satellite’s orientation or configuration apparently has changed, and that is now slowing its descent. There is a low probability any debris that survives re-entry will land in the United States, but the possibility cannot be discounted because of this changing rate of descent. It is still too early to predict the time and location of re-entry with any certainty, but predictions will become more refined in the next 12 to 18 hours.

Not sure of the location now, as it has probably always been, but not stated.

Me and the Itai have our neck braces ready. I think this piece o' shit is going to hit her garage. But she's ready. Thank gawd.

Watch it hit the Capitol in DC. Pay back for cutting the NASA budget and other lame decisions from Washington.

I am still hoping to see it do a 4th of July in the night sky.
