Anybody tried to laugh at Brian’s joke but at the same time feeling nervous??? 😆
Someone, please inform me when the rocket will fall onto the Earth. So that I can go out into my garden lying there waiting for the debris to hit my body…
On that day, I will keep praying to ask God Jesus to direct the debris to hit me. I will give God my home address so that there will be no mistake…
But I disappointed when my friend told me the chance anybody will be hit is 0.00000000000001%……
I want to taste how it’s like to be hit with a chance of 0.00000000000001%….It’s my dream and I feel honored
Just kidding maybe not
@22 k
Earth is ENORMOUS.
This stuff has to come down SOMEWHERE and even though it’s likely to be in SOME populated area, the chance of hitting one specific human individual are infinitesimally small. You are more in danger from a tanker truck losing control on a road and crashing into your house turning it into a furnace like hell’s deepest bowels than of this Chinese rocket dropping onto your head.
They found something like a quarter million bits of Columbia, when it broke apart during reentry having gotten three quarters of the way through the “hot” phase so that not much melted or vaporized from the broken fragments, those bits and pieces were spread out over several states, at least 8000-10000 km²… and not one of them had hurt a human.
Brian IS a joke……..🙄
SATVIEW is predicting reentry over the Indian Ocean.
Hopefully man
At ten storeys high, staying at home probably wouldn’t be much help if it lands on you.
@things with strings
I’m talking about the potential of chemical agents
@Zaynab bint Al-Harith no you arent.a virus is a living thing lol.
23 tons so… definitely won’t.
it won’t stay in one piece.
Look up Skylab. When that mir-like station made from the upper stage of a Saturn V Rocket, came down in 79 over half of Australia, due to no longer having fuel enough to hold its orbit, they found lots of the pieces, but none were larger than a big tank, maybe a meter across. No large tubes or sheets of metal from the outer hull stayed intact during the heatshock and the stress of reentry.
The Shuttle that got destroyed while trying to land in 2003 also was ripped to shreds and it was much more solid than your normal rockets that mostly are big tanks with a thin metal hull around them with a couple of large engines at one end.
@Ugly German Truths oh yeah…in no way has tech changed since then lol.
Make sure that if you go outside this weekend to use and umbrella or broad-brimmed hat!
So you don’t see it coming?
@Donna Brockbank lmao
Dear Santa.
Not in my hood please.
I’m hoping for the opposite. Someone’s about to get very rich.
2021 be like……Who put “city accidently gets destroyed by falling Chinese rocket from space ” on their betting boards ???
Is anyone else hoping it hits a certain luxury resort in Florida… 😏
Imagine if it hit the white house
Trump 2024
@Shawn Wieber is that when he’s due?
@Vegan Man omg then Kamala would be president, such a good idea!
@Glosario Dawson lol no 😃🎯 it’s all good I don’t get mad especially it just shows a Administration you guys got in there now gas is going up the summer I asked you is Keystone Pipeline but we won’t get it all that I thought it was pretty funny I got a laugh out of it
The amount of time we spend believing we can’t is more than enough time to learn how we can.
Expert Terry Smiths have been managing my trade for months and I keep making profits every week. I made $9,130 last week
I’ve worked with 4 traders in the past but none of them is as efficient as he is. His trading strategies are awesome!
He’s really amazing with an amazing skills he changed my 0.3btc to 2.1btc
OMG!! Really y’all know him? I thought I’m the only one he has helped walk through the fears and falls of trading.
It’s western propagandas
Part of Elon Musk’s opening monologue on SNL will be them dropping a fake rocket booster onto him from the rafters and while he is lying on the stage underneath it he will look up and say “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
😂😂👍
He must of took some bong hits prior …
“Just kidding mostly” “ FRALLING from the sky” “ you heard the man”
” Grab a helmet”…so that when they autopsy you , you’ll be in a convenient container. Easily transportable.
Let’s hope that debris lands right on top of Mar-a-lago.
🤣😂🤣!!!
Yeah man – I’ll drink to that. 👍
Finally being addressed, by 2045 we won’t be able to make it out to space because of the trash
Greetings from Sky Lab!!! I was first China!!! Great! Another run on toilette paper!
Isn’t this how Cloverfield started? A satellite falling into the ocean
Yep. Fun times ahead.
Fry just tried microwaving a bag of popcorn with the tin foil still on.
Hahahahahah “space junk in your trunk?” Haha❤️❤️❤️
Lol asked everyone to stay indoor this weekend and wear a hard hat hahaha. This is the most funniest advice
This is some crazy wild stuff trash falling from the SKY
@TAMMY JACKSON
By the completion of the space station next year, there will be more launches.
这下你满足了吧！
“Just kidding, mostly” hahahaha. All kidding aside if I live in any areas where it might land, I’d be inside.
Awesome!
