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

    lmao. where. where in my original post did i say i PERSONALLY was worried bout me, one human, getting hit by this thing. read the original post. a lot of you guys are taking this post entirely too seriously.

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

    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.

    and apparently sarcasm doesn't translate well via text.

    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.

    clearly. i'm correct. about. everything. victory is mine. now away with you.

    More punctuation doesn't make sarcasm work.

    When I play call of duty, and someone on the other team gets a rocket, I assume the rocket is going to hit me. So this plummeting satellite? I'm pretty sure I'm getting hit by it. I wonder how long it takes to respawn in real life?

    And they say video games can't prepare us for the future.

    Not that I'm a former Rocket Scientist or anything *cough* but whatever does survive reentry most likely will be too small for you to worry about. Unless, of course it's the off chance that it hits you right square in the head.

    Meteors hit our atmosphere all the time. All we usually do is look up and go "ooooo, pretty!" :)

    I'm gonna go with him

    They stated once it hits the atmosphere and makes its decent it'll mostly burn up with pieces breaking off. It won't be 12.5 tons hitting anywhere at once.

    after working with the government on a few projects, its not anything falling from space that you need to worry about..... just sayin'!
    ^^ :laugh: and all governments are as bad as each other..

    Nope, I won't be worrying. there is always a scare story out there.. remember the millenium? and yet here we are.
    Live life for today, tomorrow you might be hit by a bus.. or whatever.

    Nope, I figure when my time is up, it's up, although getting hit by a satellite isn't a way I would think I could go, it's to small to cause a tsunami and I don't live near any oceans. Hitting a populated city could be very bad. I hadn't really thought anymore about it until I read your post, but still not worried.

    But what if you are in a plane and it's the pilot's time to go? LOL
