Sarkysod Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 It has a one in three thousand chance of hitting someone. There are seven billion people on the planet. Relax:) The odds on winning the lottery are 1 in 13,983,816 (source). Yet someone always seems to win it. So does this mean, you have more chance of being hit by a falling satellite than winning the lottery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The odds on winning the lottery are 1 in 13,983,816 (source). Yet someone always seems to win it. So does this mean, you have more chance of being hit by a falling satellite than winning the lottery? No. The odds of it hitting someone on the planet are 3,200 to 1. You are only one of some seven billion people on the planet. The odds of it hitting you personally are about 22,000,000,000,000 to 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 where will it land It is still impossible to say. The satellite is orbiting so fast that it goes around the Earth completely in only 90 minutes; if you could pin its time of crashing down to within an hour, you would still have an area over 15,000 miles where it might hit. So far, they've narrowed the time down to about a six-hour span, but not until it's almost on top of us will anyone know exactly where it will fall. The ocean is most likely, simply because there's lots of ocean and not much land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
