As reentry and brakeup occurs, where will be the best site to keep track ‘live’?
Here is NASA:
NASA - UARS

If it does damage, can you sue? It will be a falling lottery ticket.

I don't know about you guys, but I am going to be waiting in my backyard with a net, a shovel & an HD cam. Get a piece, post the video on YouTube & sell the piece on eBay. Big bucks for sure.

I'm ready.

I wonder if Nasa would complain about the auction and have it pulled like a certain car company did with the famous hose?

It is impossible to pinpoint just where in that zone the debris will land, but NASA estimates the debris footprint will be about 500 miles long.

If you find something you think may be a piece of UARS, do not touch it. Contact a local law enforcement official for assistance.

My bet is somewhere between 57 degrees north and 57 degrees south -- where most people are.

Remember folks getting arrested when they took pieces of the shuttle

Complain? Sic the lawyers on them. Attempted manslaughter. Endangerment. Negligent attempted homicide. Sic the lawyers on them.
