The EP-9 equipment pallet reentered at 1929 UTC over the Gulf of Mexico between Cancun and Cuba. This was witih the previous prediction window but a little to the northeast of the 'most likely' part of the path. A couple minutes later reentry and it would have reached Ft Myers
@Alejandro0tero @planet4589 I smell pain and suffering!!! Jokes aside that’s some scary stuff. Praise God no one was killed. Why do they let space junk from the ISS (that won’t burn up) reenter our atmosphere at all? Give it a little nudge towards the Sun, it’ll get there eventually.
@barber72_an @Alejandro0tero No, it won't. Orbital dynamics doesn't work that way.
@planet4589 @barber72_an @Alejandro0tero Since you are correcting people the proper grammar is "Orbital dynamics DO NOT or DON'T work that way"
@scxd40 @barber72_an @Alejandro0tero Nope. Dynamics, like physics, is a singular noun, despite the terminal s.
@scxd40 @barber72_an @Alejandro0tero At least in this context. Yes, there is also a noun 'dynamic, pl. dynamics' but that's a more recent and different word than the 'dynamics' used in 'orbital dynamics'.
