Havard Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Theres a 1 in 2,000,000 chance it will hit an area populated with intelligent life. So, if any of you are worried, ferries run to the Isle of Wight every half hour. You kill me Ewen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Doom Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Probably more chance of winning the lottery that this hitting you!.. I know which i'd prefer though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Wouldn't the satellite burn up on re-entry? Yeah! they do, doubt anything will make it down, if it coming down in the UK area its worth looking out for as it makes quite a firework display, saw one come down in the sixty's when i was a kid.

carl0s Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Pentagon officials are quoted as saying they want to fire a missile from a US Navy ship to destroy the satellite before it enters the atmosphere. Hmm. You wouldn't have thought they'd have tested their missiles out of the atmosphere, would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hmm. You wouldn't have thought they'd have tested their missiles out of the atmosphere, would you? Your joking right, the US spent years testing nukes etc out of atmos and just inside. Wasnt one of the large blackouts in the US from a nukes EMP in the outer atmos?

colsoop Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 If the worlds super powers want to fight in space then surely thats better than down here The problem is a lot of the technology we rely on is actually military based. Gps is military run. A pissing contest in space is no big deal but if a missile can be flown in to space and hit a target then is there a place on earth that a missile can't reach ?

ivan Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'm betting the CIA were watching this forum and passed the idea on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Were you consulted? I was consulted during the Clinton years but he was all about the saxophone (i told Clinton that women would be trouble but he didn't listen ) The CIA can't track me though i have a tin foil hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
