If it lands in my back yard, do I win a prize? If I i find Chinese character writing on parts or pieces, I'll take that as a hint there is a good chance it has landed?

Thanks for the link! That's pretty interesting.

 

Best wishes!

I've been hearing a bout this for a few days during our local news broadcasts. They do not seem t o have any idea where it will come down

Thanks for the link.

I'm sure authorities are keeping a sharp eye on this thing. While the odds are tremendously against it falling onto a ship at sea, there is that possibility. Yikes! :eek: Stay tuned, folks!

Could also be an interesting light show on the horizon during a clear night at sea ........ or not. There must be a betting pool somewhere taking odds on where it will land..

 

And for a companion link, when the hour draws closer - a ship tracker link: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-12.0/centery:24.9/zoom:2

is there any chance it could be exploded in the air?

You mean like shot down... not impossible, but unlikely unless it is headed for a developed location, like a city.

 

The odds of it hitting a ship or plane are extremely, extremely small.

You can bet (pun intended) there's a line on it in Las Vegas!

If you look at the space junk page, it looks like they are predicting the Chinese Space Station to 'crash' at 0458 on 1 April but does not show the location at that time. Anyone want to crunch some numbers and figure out where that might be?

I have prop bets on all the Carnival Ships.

Yes, I wonder if it could be shot out of the sky when (if) they get a firm grip on its location?

Flame away but this thread is beyond belief.

 

No one thinks ships have satellites:confused: or ways to track this stuff.:confused:

 

Our captains and bridge crew are better than that. We are in 2018, not 1918.

 

 

This is a worry for not IMO.

I think you are reading too much into this. It is the event that might be observed from a ship as well as on land that was interesting. Not that it would necessarily crash on to a ship.

The link OlsSalt gave in the first post has two maps with predictions by satview.org and by USstratcom (US Strategic Command) that give the impact zone around 26 to 30 degrees south of the equator, either in the Pacific (150W) or Atlantic (27W).

YOU likely know don't you, that HAL has paper charts on t he bridge in addition to all the modern day electronics f or charting etc

 

hAL bridge crews are trained to use papers charts and a compass as was done in 1918. :rolleyes.

Another website link "Heavens Above" to track this celestial event: http://www.heavens-above.com/?lat=34.44067&lng=-119.71572&loc=SBMNH&alt=92&tz=PST

 

Any HAL ships expected to be in this estimated location - would be interesting to watch or run, duck and cover.:cool:

I don't remember what was the space trash that was to hit earth a number of years ago but it bcame a gag to have a beanie with propellers on top that would warn if it was going to land on one's head. the beanie's purpose was to give 'warning/'..... Surely others rememer those funny caps?...

Where is the Chinese satellite now - keeping current on its whereabouts: http://www.aerospace.org/cords/reentry-predictions/tiangong-1-reentry/

 

Mock-up diagram showing the satellite is as big as a school bus.
