Meenzer 15716 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Has anyone actually seen this 'tweet' you're on about? The tweet in question was by Robert Llewellyn aka Kryten from Red Dwarf, a spaceship that is clearly fictional. This is starting to smell fishy.

But THEY would find a way of hiding the strings hanging it up from the clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because a plane doesnt fly high enough for the sun to reflect off it doofus. We can only see the ISS due to the light of the sun hitting it, also why it's brightness changes.

Monkeys Fist 43063 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 A big, fuck—off satellite is falling to Earth this afternoon. “Where? How much will survive burn up? “ ” Errr, not sure really, somewhere between 82° N and S, It's possible some more robust parts may withstand the intense heating generated during the high-speed dive, but the chances of these fragments hitting populated areas and causing damage are slim. They could land almost anywhere in the world but with most of the Earth's surface covered by ocean, whatever debris survives to the surface is most likely to be lost at sea. "And it's worth highlighting that none of the elements that might re-enter the atmosphere (and reach the surface) are radioactive or toxic” Champion. So that white-hot lump of metal hitting your face at thousands of feet per second won’t hurt because it’s not toxic or radioactive, 2/10, must do better space lads. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-68318273.amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
