[quote:LaGata:MV80Nzc0OTMxXzg3MDc3Mjk0XzU3MEJFMjU1] [quote:Annie Oakley:MV80Nzc0OTMxXzg3MDMwOTIzXzRFOTlERkE1] [quote:Doctor Congo:MV80Nzc0OTMxXzg3MDMwNzI5X0E0RDIxQkIx] My notes from the video: -Rocket booster is 30 meters x 5 meters -It is tumbling now -orbits the earth every 90 minutes -10 percent chance to hit a populated area. -Its current weight with no fuel etc is 21 metric tons -pieces as large as 5 tons are expected to hit the Earth's surface. (an American pickup truck weighs 2 to 3 tons) [b]-most people on the forum are too young to remember the re-entry of Skylab but it was huge back in the day, on the news every day.[/b] This was 40 years ago and it was the largest thing ever to re-enter the atmosphere. This new booster is way bigger. But it should make for some spectacular viewing as parts of it burn. I hope I can see it. [/quote] As a smartass teen I painted "the sky is falling" on a hardhat and my mom (a bigger smartass than I can aspire to) wore it to the grocery store to shop. [/quote] I had one too, mine had a target and said "Welcome Back Skylab!" Wore it to school and got in trouble, as usual. [/quote]
