NASA Doing Their Best To Determine Where Satelite Will Fall

NASA scientists are doing their best to figure out where a plummeting six-ton satellite will fall later this week. Pinpointing where and when hurtling space debris will strike is an imprecise science. For now, scientists predict it will hit sometime between Thursday and Saturday in a so-called strike zone covering most of Earth. Experts expect to have a good idea by Thursday of when and where it might fall.

    why can't it be shot out of the air and blown up into smaller pieces?

    You have the URL in the hyperlink wrong. You have "mission-pages" with a hyphen between the words. It should be an underline character: "mission_pages"

    4:31, it can't be shot down because its moving at around 17,000 mph, that makes it kinda hard to hit.

    At least NASA is smart enough to not spend millions trying to shoot it down. I could only image the comments if they did spend 30 mill just to try to shoot one of their own satellites. NASA may spend some gov money, but they are much more thrifty than many other government agencies, and produce real results.

    Everyone will be fine.
