China Confirms Its Space Station Is Falling Back to Earth

China's Tiangong-1 space station has been orbiting the planet for about 5 years now, but recently it was decommissioned and the Chinese astronauts returned to the surface. In a press conference last week, China announced that the space station would be falling back to earth at some point in late 2017.

Normally, a decommissioned satellite or space station would be retired by forcing it to burn up in the atmosphere. This type of burn is controlled, and most satellite re-entries are scheduled to burn up over the ocean to avoid endangering people. However, it seems that China's space agency is not sure exactly when Tiangong-1 will re-enter the atmosphere, which implies that the station has been damaged somehow and China is no longer able to control it.
well hope you baws dont have a giant piece of Chinese space station in your house come 2017.

If it lands in my yard, I own it, right?

I'm sure the U.S. could assist, as I am sure it is all American technology.

Glad to see that even their space agency makes a shitty product

Was that the piece of shite that Sandra Bullock hopped into in Gravity?

RAD to SEC board for Vandy engineers to do the damage calculations.

It's gonna make a big frickin boom... Don't need an engineering degree to tell you that.

Chances it turns into a humongous crawfish pot if it lands in Louisiana?

Figuring out the final momentum and resultant impulse would be easy enough... but what about the final mass? Anyone trying to figure out how much is going to burn up on its way down?

If it crashes on Mars we can debate whether or not it's a rock.
