Where would you like it to smack down?

With your luck, what will it crush?

What landing spot would most embarrass los mormones without killing anyone so that we can laugh about it here?

In the alternative, whose name do you hope is written on it?


According to the press, the boffins will have a good idea of its general landing area/target on Friday...

And so I would not lose one second of sleep over this on a personal threat basis," he said.

Fucking Old Xenophobes.

No worries. I'm sure our Jewish Space Lasers will take it out.

Perhaps a nice message could be sent if the 21 Tons of Chinese Communist Rocket landed along the east bluffs above the Grand River located about five miles south of Jameson in Daviess County, Missouri. where according to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Los Mormones, it is the site where Adam and Eve lived after being expelled from the Garden of Eden.

Why not Adam-ondi-Ahman? The beginning of the end. And if it takes out my brother's 40 acres in the area he has on hold for the end times when the Mormons all march back to Jackson County, so be it.

Let's face it. Russ is just crazy enough to call for the march back and claim a newly vacant Utah all to himself.

I knew a lady who would invariably convince herself that the news featuring a suspected killer heading west from mid-America meant that the suspected killer had a road map to her house on the dashboard of his car.

Likewise, there are people out there who are beginning to worry themselves sick that 21 tons of angry Chinese rocket is locking its targeting system on them.

"I don't think people should take precautions," said a Chinese propagandist, I mean, "official." (Or is that "spokespersonman?")

Ummm...what precautions COULD be taken? It either lands on you (or your Rolls Dunahill) or it doesn't.

Is a Harvard astrophysicist a "Chinese propagandist"?

Get yourself an education on just how huge the atmosphere surrounding the Earth (and the size of the planet itself), and you might look less foolish in the future.

Unrelated to this, I recently edited a novel by a Chinese woman. She wrote it while doing her doctorate on black holes at Harvard. (She's relocated to Europe.) It's a revenge/crime drama set during China's one-child policy.

If you have full coverage insurance on your car, it will be covered, less the deductable, by the comprehensive coverage of the policy. Unless your Yaris is impacted by a returning-to-Earth Tesla. Then it's covered by the regular collision coverage.

I think that's a mean attitude to have!

An old golf buddy bought his wife a Toyota Yaris and she liked it!

And I'm sure she would have mourned it had it be pancaked by god...i.e., a heavyweight from heaven.

It will be nowhere near Utah, but I might be in the path. The best guess is the North Atlantic, possibly late tonight or in the early morning hours on Sunday. Click on the picture to enlarge:

If it comes in about 12 minutes early, it's over the former; about 7-8 minutes early, it's over the latter.

Yuck.

It's dropping about a kilometer a minute and picking up speed.

China now reporting https://weibo.com/2196038737/KeDPliFXS that the rocket reentered at 0224 UTC at 72.47E 2.65N which is right over the Maldives. If correct will be interesting to see if we get reports from there

the one I'm looking at shows that the empty rocket is bouncing on the atmosphere. That will add variables to the equation they are trying to solve.

On the one I'm looking at, you can spin the globe, to keep the rocket centered.

Ah! It wasn't a bounce! It's in an elliptical orbit. It had dipped down to 141 km of altitude and now it's at 151 km and climbing...

Apparently it reentered over the Mediterranean, flew over the middle east, and landed in the Indian Ocean near the Maldives. People in Israel and Oman report spotting it.

In about 80 minutes, 11:08pm PDT, that mo-fo will do a flyover just south of Los Angeles. Yeah, North Disneyland!

It's supposed to keep going, heading for the Jersey shore.

On the pass after that, it comes in north of San Francisco and goes over Reno, and then east, over the country and out over the Atlantic, between Philadelphia and Washington D.C.

Tracking Santa Claus, this isn't...
