I have not heard of this, lemme check my local news.

megathai 2008-01-29 17:16:15

i heard about it on fox2 news edge

cumSum 2008-01-29 18:10:01

I'm not worried, it'll burn up in our atmosphere and what's ever left will be no bigger than a chihuahua's head.

GothHawk 2008-01-29 18:19:01

yea, but something traveling at that kind of speed would be pretty fucking destructive even if it were the size of a chihuahua's head.

Freaky stuff, I'd hate to be hit by hit while I slept in the night.

But then again, I'd hate to be hit by it fullstop.

What are the chances of it missing the ocean in the first place? The earth is 70% water (or something big like that).

darkmatter63 2008-01-29 19:52:35

O I wouldn't worry about it. They say the probability of this thing hitting a populated area is about 1%. Whats really got those guys at NASA worked up is the fact that this is a spy satellite. They're afraid it'll fall within Chinese or Russian borders with some top secret info still intact.

PicoZX 2008-01-29 20:18:10

Oh phew...
I'm glad its a satellite.

axolotl1 2008-01-29 23:04:00

I am praying it lands whole in my backyard and nobody else finds out.

"They really need to just get a few stealth jets, find it, and blow it to smitherines."

An Under Seige 2 referrance possibly?

Buoy 2008-01-30 01:40:44

Blow it to smites?

Well gud, then we'll have TONS more pieces of uncontrolled space junk around

extremegamer2491 2008-01-30 12:32:54

Le'ts hope it hits the ocean.

And am I the only one who at first thought this was a Cloverfield reference???

And by your screenshot, am I to believe the gay announcer is back???? =D

ultimaman94 2008-01-30 12:45:55

I heard this from one of my work mates, but I thought it was just one of her stories. Seeing this on the news that night, I was slightly panicked and thinking 'I hope it get's our enemies house!' That would be a miracle, 'cuz we hate them more then anyone we have aever hated. If it lands somewhere else, I do hope it IS no larger than a chihuahuas head.

CatFat 2008-01-30 15:03:09

meh, at least that huge meteor just missed us a few days ago. The tiny satellite won't do a thing :)
btw, looking forward to episode 2 ;)

NextGen 2008-01-30 18:25:39

Let's just zap it through the fabric of time and space and into the next dimension. Let our other-selves deal with it.

But seriously, on the off chance it's going to land on civilization or in some place that's going to compromise the secret information about aliens, they can always redirect its path.

Swordstick76 2008-01-30 19:25:47

I use the windows sidebar, and i heard about it from there. Actually i heard that the thing can't be blown up because it has berylium on it (element #4) and so they can't do anything but let it fall and hope for the best. I hope it lands in the ocean and doesn't cause a tidal wave or nothing like that. Creepy if ya ask me.

CursedSeishi 2008-01-30 20:36:32

lol, ive heard about it on G4, but not on fox or anything, dont really watch the news though. As long as it doesnt land anywhere near me, or in michigan for that matter, I'll be happy.

Tekken9292 2008-01-30 21:24:59

How goddam unlucky are you if that thing hits you in the face? @_@

ClassWarKid 2008-01-30 21:44:15

hmmm.... i hope it lands in my backyard on feb. 22

sounds like a pretty cool birthday present to me......except for the huge fireball and airborne chunks of metal

kamkazeepilot22330 2008-01-30 22:10:26

Nuke it.
