A Soviet spacecraft launched a half-century ago called Kosmos 482 has been orbiting the Earth for decades and is at last expected to reenter Earth's atmosphere this coming weekend.

An amazing piece of information From the Soviet Venusian Space probes some 53 years ago and approaching final destruction... Sources are relating that there is no chance of it hitting a populated area, but how true is that?

I Doubt They Actually Know For Sure.
Perhaps Not Much More Than Educated Guess Work.
Somewhat Like The Weather Forecast: With The "Possibility" Of Rain.

HO LEE Crap !!
It's Been OVER 50 Years Ago?
WHEW ~ Time Sure Goes By Fast
When You're Having Flies!
From The Article ~ Last 2 Lines:
"Langbroek said the lander — if it survives reentry —
could make impact at a speed of roughly 150 miles per hour."
I'm Surprised, I Just Assumed It Would Be Entering Out Atmosphere At A Speed
MUCH Faster Than That ~ My Chrysler Pegged Past 120.

Hopefully it burns up upon reentry, but just in case I'm checking my homeowners policy concerning roof damage!

However Jack, you might wind up with some part of the Russian and you can charge admission to people wanting to capture a photo of it or just see what kind of damage it did to your Florida home! That said, I am sure it will find it's resting place in the ocean somewhere!
