Get your predictions in...
Rumored as possibilities are:
Crashing into the ISS.
Not reaching de-orbit.
De-orbit in an unintended location.
Burning up on re-entry.
Landing safely like NASA and Boeing were telling us all along.

My money is on making a u turn and crashing into the moon.

Another possibility:
-Feed gets "lost" during rentry
-Feed recovers on splash down where the Boeing folks have stashed another module
-"Nothing to see here, told ya it was safe"

doing it in the middle of the night and on the weekend while the market is closed, 0 doubt in my mind that's coincidence

I'm going to go with undocking, becoming unresponsive, floating about potentially damaging the ISS.
SpaceX will have to plan a mission to attach to it and shoot it into space to prevent a Space Cowboy scenario.

If it burns up it's because it's full of documentation from the ISS proving that aliens are orbiting the Earth

Are those times in space time?

The times are EDT today, so about 5pm in Louisiana. The landing times are in mountain time so about 11pm in Louisiana.

Space time would be 5:45, no 6:45, now 7:45, wait it's 8:45...

It lands on a whistleblower's house.

I doubt it burns up.
If it makes it to earth k think it survives.
Not sure it’s going to make it earth

Initial issue was thruster issues wasn’t it?
I vote that the thrusters fail, it never reaches de-orbit and floats away, eventually re-entering orbit in an uncontrolled fashion and burning up in the atmosphere some time in the future.

Ah...good...that path should insure the debris field isn't on my house.

if i were on the space station i would ask if they could just open the airlock door and let me kick it into space.
