This feels a bit like Skylab, anyone else remember that?

Skylab at least had some control to somewhat determine where it would land (in the ocean I think).

LT Brad McInnis - Absolutely. It had some big media hullabaloo if I recall correctly since something like that had never gone down before. They were right to be worried, it took a lot longer to break apart than they predicted and a lot of it ended up in Australia.

Sir, thank you for this post LT Brad McInnis this is a question for semantics. The mass of the Chinese space station will be reduced (extreme temperature oxidation) and fragments of the Chinese Space Station have been projected to land in lower Michigan at a high velocity. While there is still time, I behoove the Chinese to change the angle of approach into the upper atmosphere so more of the Chinese space station will be oxidised.

So sayeth the lowly and humble airman who is sure that those in higher position are already aware that a near perpendicular angle would increase the friction and you have much more capable people already working on this. LT Brad McInnis

A1C Ian Williams - I don't think they have any control over it anymore... too bad Elon Musk's Tesla is way out there, it could have swung by and give it a boost...
