Stay in today

There is a satellite falling to earth today so keep an eye out for it if you're driving along.

The official advice is "Don't touch it as it may be sharp and could be hot!"

Are you worried about this? Will you be parking under cover today just in case?

If you see it let us know, just post in this thread "HEY IT'S COMING STRAIGHT FOR US!" - I doubt you'll have time to type much more than that!

Will it help me if I walk around with an umbrella and put a roof rack on my car?

hmm could be a funny insurance claim this.

Mans sits in car, switches on sat nav. The screen comes up with "aquiring satellite lock" and bang!

Apparently the chances of it landing in a populated area are 1 in 3 200.
I'm not taking any chances though; I'm wearing a helmet as we speak.

I too have my tin 'at, a souvenier no matter how hot it is would be awesome!

The chances of it hitting someone is about 3200:1, but the odds of it hitting a particular person are actually 20 trillion:1. That's 20,000,000,000,000:1 or 2x10^13:1. I think you'll be okay

I don't believe my luck!

What are the chances!

we've just got to find the largest person on the planet, then it'll find a new orbit around them...
