    Could you sue NASA(whoever owns the satellite) if say your house was hit by it?

    no, but you could simply file a claim and ask NASA to pay for the damages. As im sure they would. Why is the world so sue-happy. ugh our society is doomed.

    Why wouldn't you be able to sue? and wouldn't a satellite falling from the sky onto your house be a pretty f'ing legit reason to sue somebody?

    because when you are harmed by the actions of others, in our country, you have the right to go to court and protect your rights
    If you didn't have any rights, you wouldn't be able to sue


    enjoy it while it lasts

    Yeah man. If somehow a huge pile of flaming metal crashed through my house I should totally just say "that's life" and rebuild from scratch.

    It came down
    theyre guessing over the pacific on a line from seattle/british colombia towards africa
    odds were 3200 - 1 it could hit a person on earth but 22 trillion -1 it would hit lady gaga

    they also said that the largest chunk post burn up would have been 300 lbs ... that coulda done some damage

    false was listening to npr and they quoted one of the scientists being frustrated about not being able to predict where it would fall. the guy also said there was a 1 in 3200 chance that it or a piece of it would hit someone

    Yap you're right. I mean a specific person when I said "a person". The odds of it hitting ANY person on Earth is 3200 to 1.
