TIANGONG 1 Reentry Tracker

Pretty cool, a Chinese space station is crashing into Earth. Here’s the tracker:
LINK
Article on it: LINK
The 9.4-ton (8.5 metric tons) Tiangong-1 is about 34 feet long by 11 feet wide (10.4 by 3.4 meters) and features 530 cubic feet (15 cubic m) of habitable internal volume.
Tiangong-1 consists of two components: a "resource module," which contains the space lab's solar-power and propulsion systems, and an "experimental module" that accommodated astronauts and scientific work. The experimental module features two beds and some exercise gear, but it doesn't have a bathroom or kitchen; these latter facilities were provided by the spacecraft that visited Tiangong-1.

Tiangong-1 is no more. China's prototype space station, whose name translates as "Heavenly Palace 1," met a fiery end in Earth's atmosphere today (April 1), breaking apart and burning up in the skies over the southern Pacific Ocean at about 8:16 p.m. EDT (0016 April 2 GMT), according to the U.S. Strategic Command's Joint Force Space Component Command (JFSCC). "The JFSCC used the Space Surveillance Network sensors and their orbital analysis system to confirm Tiangong-1's re-entry," U.S. Air Force officials wrote in a statement.

It is amazing how much “trash “ is in orbit . I wonder at what point will it affect manned space travel
Posted on 4/1/18 at 9:32 pm to jlntiger
yeah, it's amazing that there hasn't been a collision yet

There has been. A window on the ISS was hit by a piece of debris.

Maybe even 10x as much. Space stuff is crazy expensive.

They just want you to believe there's trash in space. But no one actually goes up there. It's all fake, man.

Why then do you never see anything from cameras in space?

Let's see how well the Tesla collision avoidance system works in space...
