I still remember when Skylab fell to Earth in 1979. I was 9. People on TV who found items (and others who claimed they did by manufacturing junk with aluminum foil). It was inspirational. I looked to the sky at the right time to see what I could see. I wish I could share that with Elliot , but he’s with Karolina this weekend.

The Long March 5B, a 22-ton Chinese rocket, is falling back to Earth this weekend. 20-40% of it will survive reentry. No one knows exactly where the pieces will crash, and that’s part of the allure, right?
