NASA satellite crashes down to Earth

Saw it where I was in northern BC. Actually I saw the bright flash and didn't get out to see it on time.

Nuts! I had so hoped to go out to the car this morning to find a nicely fused one kilo chunk of gold and platinum laying on the front seat. What a gift from the heavens that would have been! Well, back to my ramen noodles...

Take that, Fox News! Gravity isn't just a theory.

Our local newspaper is saying that it went down in the Pacific Ocean and that 5 minutes later, it would have hit the western coast of the U.S. That's odd, the oribital data map is showing she is close to South America. Did anyone else read this too? Is she still moving?

This timeline, and the first two paragraphs above, described its final orbit, illustrated here: (It's that shape because they're projecting this circular orbit on a mercador projection of the Earth (a flat map), so circular orbits appear as s-curves). this report says that it re-ente...

Thank you so much for clearing that up. Unfortunately, our local news is at times wrong but I knew that U.M. members would know if she was still up there or not. I'm glad she did manage to find her way down with no reports of damage so far. Hopefully all of it went into the ocean.
