WaEx: The out-of-control Chinese space station, the Tiangong-1, re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere Sunday evening over the southern Pacific Ocean.
The U.S. Strategic Command’s Joint Force Space Component Command confirmed re-entry at around 8:16 p.m. ET.
“The JFSCC used the Space Surveillance Network sensors and their orbital analysis system to confirm Tiangong-1’s re-entry,” JFSCC said in a statement, adding that other countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and South Korea helped confirm the re-entry. read more
So disappointing. LA, SF, Seattle, and Chicago were all on the list. WTF?
It’s ok, we didn’t tip over as it flew by.😬👏
Of all the places, couldn’t they find a population center? The open ocean? What good is that?
Anyone else remember the Russian satellite that re-entered about 25 years ago. I had no idea at the time what I was seeing.

Fxcking Chicoms can never do anything right.
OMG, I just read a post on IG congratulating Ted Kennedy for being seven years sober.
Parked next to that Malaysian airplane.
It couldn’t land on CNN HQ?
Just a nuther Chinese Junk in the ocean…
@Left Coast Dan,
I liked that series
Dang. I was hoping some bits would come down here in Florida so I could get my hands on some un-tariffed Chinese steel or aluminum.
A shame to see all our secrets sink to the depths.
I guess no one was stilll onboard? 😬
Looks like I took the old catchers mitt out for nothing.
Yeah, and in a couple of hours you’re gonna want another space station to crash …

What a waste of good space junk! It could have crashed somewhere useful!
