Does anyone remember? When SkyLab was about to come down, Taco Bell put a target out in the Pacific and advertised that if the main part of SkyLab hit the target, they'd give a free taco to everyone in America! They did the same thing with Mir. On Fri, Sep 9, 2011 at 11:00 AM, <jcarman6@q.com> wrote:
Yep, but not as worrysome as Skylab was when it came down. They managed to control it enough to crash in the ocean. Speaking of which, considering 75% of the planet is covered in ocean, this one will probably go the same route. Considering all the space junk up there, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

Did I read this right? 1,100 pounds falling to earth. I wonder if the solid gold and silver pieces will fall or if only plastic will make it to earth. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/09/09/65-ton-defunct-satellite-to-plunge... _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php
