Of that land, humans live on 60% of that to varying degrees of density.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth#Human_geography<BR/><BR/>So we live on 18% of the total planet. Obviously some areas of the earth are less densely populated than the others. Not many folks live in Rain forest or Deserts. Not many folks live in Artic Tundra or Anartica. <BR/><BR/>This thing is the size of a bus in space, but reality is most of that mass will break up on reentry. Still something the size of a penny hitting you in the head at that rate of speed, white hot will kill you but the chance of that happening is so low you have a better chance of hitting the lottery or being killed in a car accident.<BR/><BR/>To my knowledge (I looked into this today) the last such satellite that actually hit something in a populated area hit Cuba and killed a cow...or injured it to the point that it had to be put down.<BR/><BR/>That's it.<BR/><BR/>I think she should slow our roll a little bit here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-16266541260107462772008-02-17T21:36:00.000-05:002008-02-17T21:36:00.000-05:00404Kim check out this link to hear it straight fr...404Kim <BR/><BR/>check out this <A HREF="http://think2wice.org/2008/02/50-cent-americas-not-ready-for-a-black-president" REL="nofollow">link</A> to hear it straight from Fiddy mouth.Blinders Offhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109286529955936165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-20934872622490244362008-02-17T21:35:00.000-05:002008-02-17T21:35:00.000-05:00"The real reason they are willing to shoot it down..."<I>The real reason they are willing to shoot it down is because it is carrying some secret technology that they are afraid will fall into the wrong hands.

Even so when I heard they were going to "shoot it down", I wondered if that was any better (does that mean the shattered pieces will disintegrate, float in space forever, or what). Let's see, now we have to worry about millions of pieces shooting from orbit and landing where? <BR/><BR/>Someone told me they have the "technology" to "direct" the pieces to land where they want it to on earth. Well, they can't land the million pieces on just anybody's national soil or waters (that's war talk), so they might to have to "direct" the landing(s) close to, or on US regions. Now, where would those inconsequential US areas be? <I>I think the Katrina survivors better keep a visual on this, or perhaps all the Democratic states.

Their general conclusion, after talking to experts in the biz, is that the reasons given by the Administration are bogus (no surprise there). Among the speculations for the real reasons is that the powers-that-be want to try the same thing the Chinese successfully did relatively recently - and which we criticized extensively, for all the dangerous debris* left in lower orbit as a result of the resulting explosion (*dangerous to future space missions).<BR/><BR/>Steve-MD/DCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-1641350301731029702008-02-17T19:39:00.000-05:002008-02-17T19:39:00.000-05:00Field - what exactly did Fiddy say about Obama?

Exposure to hydrazines may cause nervous system effects, as well as liver and kidney damage. Hydrazines have been found in at least 8 of the 1,416 National Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).<BR/><BR/><BR/>More info at www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts100.htmlLittleMissSolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15973515373520805737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-15659219679617394102008-02-17T13:26:00.000-05:002008-02-17T13:26:00.000-05:00everytime i read about something else the Frat Boy...everytime i read about something else the Frat Boy president has screwed up, I know him and all his cronies are making money from the screw up, the aftermath of the screw up and the supposed fixing of the screw up.<BR/><BR/>i'm so sick of him.<BR/><BR/>Christopher...I agree with you<BR/>Ideally I would like the satellite to first fall at the Ranch, then at Cheney's ranch with Liz, Dick and Mary in residence and then if it could find its way to the hovel where Karl Rove resides and since <BR/><BR/>I'm still pissed at all the people who voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004, maybe they could get a little taste of it too.MartiniCocoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509335664000215080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-68266793919058968212008-02-17T12:15:00.000-05:002008-02-17T12:15:00.000-05:00Bruh, there's all this intrigue re: possible "miss...Bruh, there's all this intrigue re: possible "missile defense" nonsense, but when has the Bush Admins. ever given a crap about intimidating the Chinese?
