To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

As some of you may know the Chinese space station Tiangong-1 is going to be plummeting to earth this Sunday. So watch your heads...
There is quite a few cities that could get some fallout from the atmospheric entry, see the list here (i am in the zone) 🙂
It amazes me all of the stuff we have in orbit around the earth, knowing those pieces of junk are traveling hundreds or thousands of miles per hour and just one of those impacts the ISS or other stations up there it could cause catastrophic failure is a concerning thought.
The estimated window of re-entry for the defunct Chinese space lab Tiangong-1 has narrowed sharply. The timeframe for the fall to Earth is centred on 01:07 Monday GMT, plus or minus two hours.
To quote an old sci-fi series - down and safe!
