Fox News: Space Station due to crash in Michigan April 3rd

[Super Corpse Soldier]

It's happening.

 

[Syriel]

Me too. But I also read "Fox News", so I thought it would be bullshit.

It is BS because it's waaaaaaaaay too early to predict an impact zone.

Figures they wouldn't actually look at the picture they posted. You'll see that the probable impact zone covers slightly less than half the planet. I guess lower Michigan is in that area, sure.

Read the actual science sites and not the news and they all say the same thing: They don't have a clue where it's coming down. But somehow Fox News does? Hm.

The bolded is all you need to know.

 

[jdstorm]

You know what would protect America from falling Chinese space debris?

A wall... for the sky... A skywall. You can even make China pay for the Skywall :V

Click to shrink...

Nah it needs to be a net as everyone who watches "Fox News" knows that nets to catch things that are falling.

Just wait for it. Trump plans to install a Skynet to protect America from Chinese space debris

/s

 

[Imperfected]

I mean if it lands on my face that's a pretty rad way to die, so I'm game.

 

[Illusion]

Well fuck.

Wish me luck! I might be hit by space junk any day now.

 

[Xe4]

Chances are it'll land in the ocean but we won't know more until it really starts deorbiting. We knew it'd do this for a while and are tracking it carefully.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Is this going to be the Gravity Sequel?

 

[Vishmarx]

In my defense its pretty late in the night ,but for some reason i read that as space station crashes on fox news .

 

[Thorn]

Haha jokes on you all, Michigan is nothing BUT trash and debris!

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

"In the Aerospace graphic, yellow areas have a higher probability of debris, green areas have a small chance and blue areas have zero probability of debris landing."

Click to shrink...

So Fox News saw this graphic and decided that Michigan is the most likely area of impact?

Lol

TV show called Dead Like Me.

She dies when she gets hit in the face by a toilet seat falling from a space station. The show is about her existing as a reaper, taking peoples souls moments before they are actually killed in mostly amusing fashion.

Was the first thing I saw Mandy Patinkin in.

It's coming this week. Are you ready Michigan?

 

[Illusion]

As a Southern Michigander this shouldn't be any more difficult than surviving our roads.

 

[Vas]

Good lord, that picture is huge.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Sister Jean pulling strings to keep Michigan from winning.

 

[AegonSnake]

Southern Michigan? Way too close to ohio.

 

[ghostemoji]

Dope. I'll be out in Southern Michigan doing field work when this happens. Fingers crossed this thing lands directly on top of me.

 

[Duane]

Hey, Sputnik IV landed in a small town in Wisconsin in 1962... maybe they'll get lucky again?

[RandomHopeInc]

Is this viral marketing for Dead Like Me 2?

Click to shrink...

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking about Dead Like Me :P

 

[Murasaki]

Who ya gonna call?

 

[Poodlestrike]

According to a new report from the Aerospace Corporation, southern portions of lower Michigan fall into the regions listed as having a high probability of debris landing from the 8.5-ton space station. The report also identifies northern China, central Italy and northern Spain as regions with higher chances of impact.

Well I'm glad they were able to narrow it down.

 

[Serpens007]

Panicked for a second and though the title referred to the International Space Station...

Me too. But I also read "Fox News", so I thought it would be bullshit.

Pretty much lol

 

[daveo42]

Since it's from China, will the US be sending them import bill to cover the cost of the tariffs against steel and aluminum used in the space station?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Um, I'm in the Chicago suburbs.

Time to panic.

 

[Grym]

It'll likely just land in and (partially) fill a Michigan pothole. Win/Win all around

Wait a minute........

How many Satellites are orbiting earth right now?

Thousands IIRC

 

[fallengorn]

Skylab 2. This time, it's personal.

Have you not seen xXx-Return of Xander Cage?

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Watch it Hit the building next to me.

 

[Templeusox]

So if someone gets hit and killed by this, tough luck? That seems rough.

 

[mute]

It's a bit funny to me that the window for when/where it would hit is so huge. In the movies whenever something space related is happening they just do some trig on a black board and know exactly where things are going to go.

Isn't that the Making a Murderer town?

What if it was all a Soviet indoctrination attempt to get Americans killing other Americans? Someone, cue the X-files music.

 

[Medalion]

What are the chances America uses this as a means to start more shit with China, saying China is launching orbital attacks on America /s

You think it's an accident, but really it's Ghina forcibly breaking the trade tariffs.

Pardon the pun, but chances are astronomically low that anyone would even come close to being hit, as this thing will shatter and vaporize the second it hits the atmosphere.

 

[Alric]

To be honest, I still don't think they know where it'll land but it had me think of a few things.

 

[SilentMike03]

Where's Heero Yuy when you need him?

Trump supporters would eat that shit up. Want to build a Great Wall around China or something.

 

[ThreePi]

The only reason this is news is because of the fact that it landing in the US was possible. The thing is fraction the size of Skylab or Mir.
