Update: falling satellite could impact eastern U.S.

NASA is recalculating their math because their reentry hours were way off. So if their math was wrong then their PROMISE of this NOT hitting land (last month) is obviously wrong.

But no one worry. NASA is at the helm.

Of course it is. It's an update to tell us that they're working hard to provide us with an update. Remember, you have to allow for the fact that we're dealing with NASA here.

I agree...

We'll have our update....once the pics of debris have been airbrushed and what not....

Coming up. I gotta find it.

Entertain the audience while I'm gone would ya?

After hours of worldwide suspense, NASA said it was working on Saturday to confirm the time and the place where its six-ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite made its fiery plunge to Earth.

The old research spacecraft was targeted to crash through the atmosphere after midnight, with Canada and Africa potentially in the crosshairs. There were unconfirmed reports that a fireball display was seen in northern Canada, but no official verification of those reports.

I'm getting confused. I keep hearing the world is going to end on so many different dates. When the hell can we get this over with already? I'm actually sick of hearing about it. If this entire world is ending, then there's nothing we can do about it now is there. Even if NASA and other various governmental agencies are covering it up.

...sure it is not Elenin

Everyone please remember this little piece of advice from NASA

If you find something you think may be a piece of UARS, do not touch it. Contact a local law enforcement official for assistance.

yeah.....Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, Im gonna do that. if its close enough for me to see then it was probably a pretty damn close call that I didnt get hit and killed so in my view something that came that close to killing me but didnt should be mine.....No?

don't seem like too much suspense is going on around here. we've resigned ourselves to Our Fate and now are talking about Dutch English and Mork and Mindy.

maybe them freaked out NASA guys should come hang out with us a while.

Will not hit U.S. (although I read it I was picturing the title saying 'us')
Still a brazen statement to make.

Nasa has said a six-ton satellite doomed to fall to Earth this week will not hit the U.S. as incredible video was captured showing the start of the spacecraft's descent.

Scientists today said that the Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (UARS) will make its final fiery plunge on Friday afternoon when it is not due to be passing over North America.

Americans had been warned that the 20-year-old bus sized satellite could cause injuries and damage to property as it falls through the atmosphere and drops about two dozen pieces of debris on to Earth weighting up to 300lbs.

No. If someone almost hits you with their car, it certainly doesn't make their car yours.

UPDATE 2: NASA: UARS Will Not Hit United States
Written by Marcia Smith
Thursday, 22 September 2011 13:22
UPDATE (FRIDAY MORNING): NASA reports the satellite's decay rate slowed, pushing reentry later, and the United States may be at risk after all.

UPDATE (THURSDAY EVENING): NASA says reentry "is possible sometime during the afternoon or early evening of Sept. 23, Eastern Daylight Time."


ORIGINAL STORY: NASA still isn't sure exactly where debris from its Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) will land, but it will not be on the United States.
