content: a post about "other equipment and products" ... a huge 1 me thinks.there are many news about things crashing lately, cars, stocks, etc. but this 1 takes the cake me thinksspace object tracking site.http://www.n2yo.com/?s=37820ESA re-entry predictionhttp://blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/2018/03/26/tiangong-1-reentry-updates/aerospace.org predictionhttp://www.aerospace.org/cords/reentry-predictions/tiangong-1-reentry/this prediction drags crash point to 4th aprilit is funny, as prediction states 1st april as projected re-entry. lets hope nobody becomes a landing pad.it would be a weird feeling if it lands right back into CHINA itself as in the next 24hrs, CHINA is part of the re-entry pathtotal object mass 8.5tons, prediction of mass that will survive re-entry = 20% (1.7tons !)australia falls in the riskier edges (see risk pic)lets see if anyone catches the re-entry videosUPDATEit has re-entered, and its gone2018/04/02 00:16 UTC/GMT (abt 2 hrs ago). Reentry occurred in the Pacific Ocean. NW of TAHITI. looks like it is very fragile, everything is gone on re-entry.http://www.aerospace.org/cords/reentry-predictions/tiangong-1-reentry/http://www.cmse.gov.cn/art/2018/4/2/art_810_32427.html

content: Many years ago (1979) Skylab suffered the same fate of an uncontrolled re-entry. Debris ended up landing in Western Australia, and the town Esperance fined NASA $400 for littering.Let's see if China will get fined this time

content: I'm directly in the flight path, it crosses within 50km of me 3 times during the current prediction window. With the middle being within 20 minutes of where they are converging.The middle one actually crosses me by 5kmI have brought my camera. My photo drone is on charge, the car is full of petrol, And begun an offsite backup of my data.

content: Not familiar with any in the area. If there are i imagine they would be grouping near the suburb of maitland. As that is closer to the center point of all 3,Still if anyone wants to invite me to see there telescope i wont object.

content: the wise thing is to separate into several groups in probabilities of impact because the first one to touch it will claim ownership, if it just happen they are not around and some aboriginals are there, then its a goner.
