Title: China’s 9½-ton space lab will soon crash to Earth
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on March 08, 2018, 1300 UTC
China’s 9½-ton space lab will soon crash to Earth. Scientists think they know where — sort of.

Heads up, Spain and Portugal. And France. Maybe you, too, Greece.

China's 9½-ton space station, Tiangong-1, will come falling from space soon, and it's predicted to head in that general direction.

According to the experts, in this article, 10 to 40 percent or 2000 to 8000 lbs of the Chinese space lab will re-enter the earths atmosphere. Not to worry most of it will be in pieces.....https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/31/16830890/chinese-space-station-tiangong-1-debris-falling-to-earth

Didn't want to watch, cuz cartoons are lame, but it did make me giggle.
From now on I stay away from all penguins, didn't know they could be so tricky.
Thanks for explaining the whole penguin phenomenon going on here.  :o

I have a little stuffed Penguin sitting on his little red chair over my operating position... and I bet he can stay in the air longer than the crappy Chinese junk that ends up crashing to earth...

BTW this isn't what they say it is anyway...  hoping not to lose face the PRC called it a 'space lab' when in fact it is nothing more than a copy of an old outhouse design that some guys (and 1 gal) printed up as a joke... from a University computer center...   It was a boring day and no one wanted to work so...  Well things being what they are China got a copy of this drawing and thought it was the print of a super secret NSA spy bird....  HA!  the laugh is on them once again :-)

And that's that about that... kinda sorta...

It will be contained at the Shady Acres Trailer Park and Retirement Community. Some brave soul has climbed up on his roof and spray painted, "Hey China! I betcha can't hit this trailer. I triple dog dare you!"

Shady Acres is known as "Mar-A-Lago" to you regular folks. Fore!

What are the odds China scores a double eagle and a bogey plus a hole in one and possibly a triple lindy on Al's lodgings?
