Music for Falling Satellites

Ahh_Bisto's picture

Apparently the US Space Agency's 6 tonne Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite will fall to earth on 24th September.

Luckily the North West meet-up is on 23rd September as there is a 1 in 3200 risk to life from the bits of space junk that won't burn up in the atmosphere.

Massive, have you any appropriate choons to accompany this event?

Here's mine, Satellite City by Orange Juice

Maths !

They may well be experts in all sorts of wonderful things, but those odds are ridiculous. Surely the satellite would have to be 1/3200th the size of earth for that to be true

Would you recommend

not placing a bet on PaddyPower then?

er

Question is how much of the earth's surface that the satelitte might concevably land on is inhabited (a very quick search suggsets around 1-2% of the Earths surface is inhabited by man)and within that the odds of a relatively small chunk of stuff hitting someone (there are plenty of places in even a densely packed city that would constitute a miss).

Odds seem plausible to me.

Anyhoo, back to the question. Jello Biafra and Nomeansno - Falling Space Junk.

You'll get similar odds...

For Bolton, Sunderland or Newcastle to win the Premier League

Let's hope this Guillemots tune applies come Saturday

Northern Exposure.

Anyone else remember this from the 90s? I saw this episode and thought it hilarious. Be patient with it and you shall be rewarded.

Up to 3,30:
