If you read the article, there is an approximately 1 in 3,200 chance of any one human being getting hit.

The good news is that UARS will probably splatter into the open ocean, because Earth is a water planet. And humans, for all their sprawl, occupy a very limited portion of its surface.

NASA did a calculation of the odds that someone would be struck by UARS debris. It’s very unlikely: about a 1-in-3,200 chance that one person somewhere in the world would be hit.

That quote is from the very story you linked to in your original post.

The last time something like this happened, they actually launched a missile into space to destroy it (or at least break it into small enough pieces that would burn on re-entry). http://www.raytheon.com/newsroom/technology/rtn08_nl/highlight4/index.html

Since I know they could do it again if needed, and they aren't, I'm not worried.

that's pretty awesome. i've been watching this all day on cnn, i'm not actually freaking out, but i figured some folks didn't know this was even going on, and stuff like this has always interested me.

Actually, you did say you were freaking out about this.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/nasa-satellite-expected-to-hit-earth-this-week/2011/09/18/gIQARnpVdK_story.html

because i am. there's so many complications that could come with a satellie entering and hitting the earth. what if it hits a heavily populated city? what if it hits an ocean and causes a tsunami? am i overthinking it? this thing is 12,500 bloody tons!

"soooo um...is ANYBODY else freaking out about this?! *insert link* because i am.



Usually using "I" means you're talking about yourself.

Actually, you're correct. Sarcasm does not translate well via text at all. It's extremely difficult to get it across without the deadpan delivery.
