FEMA Prepared for Dead NASA Satellite's Plunge to Earth This Week ​

With a massive dead NASA satellite due to plunge back to Earth this week, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is laying the groundwork for a fast response in case the 6 1/2-ton spacecraft falls over American soil.

The defunct spacecraft, called the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), is projected to make and uncontrolled, fiery fall on Sept. 23, plus or minus a day, according to NASA.

Odds are that nobody will be beaned by any remaining chunks of the nearly $750 million spacecraft, with NASA experts forecasting a remote 1-in-3,200 chance of a possible injury from the satellite's debris.

Not that scared, but I think it'll look amazing if caught on camera

Ironically it will crash through the hold of one of the retired Shuttle

Watch it hit Fukushima.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

If it hits Fukushima, I'll push you into a body of water.

Watch it hit Fukushima.

This made everyone in my apartment erupt in laughter. Thanks for that.

Big deal, it'll burn up in atmosphere and whatever's left will be no bigger than a Chihuahua's head.

Sounds like good batting practice.


And that sounds weird as shit now that I re-read it with the Chihuahua head reference. Just to make it clear, I don't beat Chihuahuas' heads.

Then a Chihuahua will try to dryhump the remains, lovely

They are suspiciously similar to softballs in size and weight, aren't they?

Yes, but not nearly of the same durability.

I mean...errr... I wouldn't know.

lol this makes it seem like your roommates are all clustered around your monitor while you read out threads with different voices for each member

A NASA satellite the size of a school bus is just days away from taking a fiery plunge into Earth’s atmosphere and could set off a dazzling display when it does … if anyone is able to see it.

NASA's 6 ½-ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite is due to fall somewhere on Earth Friday (Sept. 23), though exactly where and when remains a mystery.

this should be fun to watch

Let the UFO reports commence.
