Fluffy Bunnies posted:Huh, there's a line crossing right over the city nearest to me, too (*not positive but it looks like it's close). The orange line is just the line around the satellite in the drawing, it's supposed to represent how far away you could see the re-entry, from its re-entry point. So if it popped in over Nashville, TN you might see it from the great lakes down to Florida. The yellow/blue are just the orbit, plus 8 hours (yellow) or minus 8 hours (blue) from the predicted re-entry time (the "central value"). They're continuing to update it too, the window is now at +/- 8 hours, they'll keep shrinking it as it gets closer.

Currently predicting it will hit ~New Zealand. Obviously this is all part of the Chinese plan to spread Covid as wide as possible.

What if the rocket is fitted with Chinese Ball Seeking technology, and breaks into a few million pieces upon reentry, each piece homing in on an individual set of balls with laser guided accuracy?

Good news everyone the rocket has landed and yes it landed directly and exactly upon my fricking balls! Well i can't be certain it was the rocket, but a rocket for sure, or at least a vaguely phallic object made out of a material.

Fortunately, when they ripped the code from the American Ball Seeking technology that Foxcon were making, they did a piss poor job and the entire thing burnt out just after launch.

well, thread, I have a very sad update I did not get crushed to death in my sleep by 10-stories of towering metal, which means the Chinese death rocket is still somewere up there in the sky perhaps tonight I'll be so lucky

What if, hear me out here, what if there were hidden RCS thrusters on that rocket that allowed China to give it a little nudge here and there, just to make sure it lands as intended on Mar-a-lago?  We can't even tell precisely how the rocket's trajectory is affected by re-entry, they could totally get away with it. I'm not seriously tinfoiling about this, I'm just saying they should do it.

$50 to whoever calls the city it hits closest to, if there’s any interest. Thread consensus on the city if it’s a wide field of debris.

Zippy the Bummer posted:i guess it isn't going to hit Indiana. Orbits are kind of hard to map out on a 2d image, so basically those lines are where it will be at various points of time in orbit while the planet rotates underneath. Eventually atmospheric drag will pull it out of orbit somewhere along one of those lines.

They’re going to admit later that the rocket is powered by some ridiculously toxic yet inefficient nuclear reaction or something and it will hit the last of a rare sea turtle and then endanger the whole of Africa’s coast with radioactive debris because we live in hell world
