Tiangong-2 Space Station has fallen to Earth

[Still Waters]

On Friday, the Chinese space station Tiangong-2 was spectacularly decommissioned — it was set on a crash course with a remote patch of the Pacific Ocean called the "Spacecraft Cemetery."

Tiangong-2 is no more, but we can re-live its final moments. The state-owned China Global Television Network posted a YouTube video of the space station as it begins to incinerate while re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.

Oh, they meant to do it. I was wondering if it came as a surprise to them. Scene: Control Room at Chinese Space Command Headquarters, Monday morning. Boss walks in.. "Morning, anything to report?" Hapless technician on duty: "Er, well, it's like this, boss ..."

perhaps that did happen, and they said "ooh, yeah, we meant to do that" while the tech is getting slapped in the back of his head by embarrassed angry boss.
