The epitome of "Made in China"
Clintons probably arranged it so it drops on someone they don't want breathing anymore

Hopefully it lands wherever the Parkland Brats are attention whoring.
Some of you people need to take a step back. shite has gotten toxic as hell on here. The “Parkland brats” survived a mass shooting less than 2 months ago. Whether you agree with them or not, be adults about it. They are kids trying to figure this crazy arse world out too.

This Chinese space station
Would think that if we tried and failed, how that could make us look.
Also if we have this shoot-down technology, we might not want to expose it for this purpose?
There just seems to be quite a bit of Chinese news though. Trade war (is not a war), lifetime president Xi, NK meeting: first time Coolio leaves NK, etc

Aegis can definitely shoot it down

It's funny you mention that because I've got close friends up in Michigan out of Detroit along Michigan Ave, in what is known as Irish Hills, on Devil's Lake (where I just went ice fishing about six weeks ago) who are receiving almost daily alerts up there about where this junk is supposed to hit. It's literally supposed to scatter along Michigan Ave and through the Irish Hills community ... and there are already firms staging to sue the Chinese government for loss of life and property and any potential negative long term effects from any chemicals that might be misted over the area.
Now, from what he is telling me, they are hoping the chemicals burn-up on re-entry but that seems to be the major worry at the moment because there are hundreds of small glacial lakes along that path and they are seriously concerned at the prospect of all that water being contaminated but this thing.
It's really kinda interesting to watch. I mean some are suggesting that some pieces of debris in excess of a ton coukd make it through to impact. At the same time imagine a couple of hundred hundred-pound pieces making it through and crashing all over the area.
People up there are genuinely concerned. In the end I suspect it will be much ado about nothing but, at the same time, it wouldn't be a bad thing to see the Chinese have to eat this one in the world courts.

how do people from MI know they may be a direct hit?

If it lands in my backyard do I get free fortune cookies for a year or something?

Here's a little update

Be on the lookout for flying space junk, Michiganders.
China's Tiangong-1 space station is anticipated to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere between now and April 2 and in response, Gov. Rick Snyder activated Michigan's Emergency Operations Center today to monitor its travels.

If any part of this thing lands in the US and causes damage of any kind, President Trump's tweets will be a work of art.

IIRC we did blow up some space junk using a ship-based missile. However I think it was our stuff we blew up.
China did, they blew up one of their own satellites. Terrible idea though, it makes a single piece of space debris turn into millions and even a tiny flock of paint can have devastating effects if it hits another satellite or the space station. There’s too much debris up there as it is and it can take decades for its orbit to decay enough to fall back to Earth.

Any chance this MF hits Chappaquiddick, NY?

We did it back in '08 just to prove we could.

"At approximately 10:26 p.m. EST today, a U.S. Navy AEGIS warship, the USS Lake Erie, fired a single modified tactical Standard Missile-3, hitting the satellite approximately 247 kilometers (133 nautical miles) over the Pacific Ocean as it traveled in space at more than 17,000 mph."

Has anybody noticed that this space station is predicted to crash on the same day (Monday) as a SpaceX launch?

Y’all realize the Miami & LA & all other cities between are also in the “danger zone”, right?

I remember seeing a movie about it. Was it this?

Serious question: if it is true that the Chinese space authority had some control over this thing crashing, and it crashes on US soil, what then? There seems to be a whole lot of China goings-on these days.

Where will it land?
No one knows for sure. However, on Friday, before updating the latest time window, the Aerospace Corp. said the debris would most likely descend into the Pacific Ocean.
When the space station's fall was forecast for noon EDT on Sunday (Aerospace has since moved its forecast back four and a half hours), an expert told Space.com that Tiangong-1 would likely begin its re-entry over Malaysia, and rain debris into the Pacific Ocean.
Earlier, the Aerospace Corp. also said it could land along a strip of the U.S. that includes the southern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. That promted Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder to activate the state's Emergency Operations Center to monitor the station.
Capt. Chris A. Kelenske, Michigan's deputy director of emergency management and homeland security, said "the chances are slim that any of the debris will land in Michigan, but the state is monitoring the situation and is prepared to respond quickly if it does."
