For those who would like to Track AMC14

[goaliebob99]

dont know but if it keeps going this way its going to crash into the south pacific. They should of aimed for China or North Korea and try to do some good while they are at it

 

[goaliebob99]

Maybe Directv11 gave it a good kick in the wrong direction

It will go faster as it gets closer to earth gravity, obviously, hopefully we will see the slingshot effect soon, or a bright light in the southern sky.

So I guess this is the official Satellite "landing" party! woo woo!

 

[jdr01930]

At what point does it hit the atmosphere and burst into flames? About 100 miles maybe?
Given increasing velocity, I'm betting sling shot manuvering to get it higher, or the stats on this thing are just way off. But what do I know? Not much!

 

[KE4EST]

It does look bleek from the readings but lets hope we are all reading it wrong.

 

[rogerpl]

Is this an elaborate practical joke?

 

[Mdvalenz]

Yeah. Was planning on getting to bed but at this speed it should be in the water within 30 minutes, or on its way into higher orbit. I hope its the later and I will wake up learning they were able to get it closer to it's intended height.

 

[rogerpl]

Dont even have time to piss. don't want to miss whatever happens- Cmon baby -fly you bastard!

 

[goaliebob99]

1300 miles and droping like a rock

 

[james_k_p]

Cue the Pac-Man sound effect when he dies....

 

[Mdvalenz]

According to Wikipedia, the atmosphere starts around 100km.

 

[rogerpl]

I never make to a launch party but these crash parties are fun. FLY!! or at least slow down

 

[jdr01930]

I wonder if that "5 day predictions with graphs" link has coding behind it with little fireball graphics and stuff for occasions like this.

If you happen to be in Argentina right now - DUCK!!!!!

 

[rogerpl]

If it wasnt 1:30 and the wife wasnt sleeping I could get into this like a ball game. I'd be throwing the remote by now.

 

[mb1058]

What happens to the satellite icon if it doesn't make it. Splash or flame.

 

[rogerpl]

what does eclipsed mean in this case- i see it switched no to yes

looks to be headed to the panama canal - should be some chinese there.

 

[Mdvalenz]

Acceleration is slowing. Thats good right?

 

[goaliebob99]

according to the cart its in the atmosphere now. I dont think this is accurate
