What???! I try to keep on top of this stuff (spent many dozens of hours watching docs about it), but haven't heard a peep about this 'til now! Maybe the Mayans are right -- just over a year left I guess!



Calm down, no need to panic cool

Meteors have fallen before, and history shows there's not much to worry about.

This satellite will not remain the size of mini-bus once it hits the ground, and most chances are we're talking debris.

Either way tho, your chances of getting hit are slim to none, with emphasis on none.

You have more chances of getting bitten by a venomous snake.

So relax, take it easy cool
