- Description
The cartoon is drawn in four frames and shows a rocket from a close-up viewpoint, growing smaller in each frame, or may be the other way round. Text reads 'As a defunct 6.5 ton NASA sarellite falls to earth this week... 26 pieces, with a combined mass of 500kg will survive the firey re-entry and hurtle towards us. Scientists aim to pin-point the exact location of where the debris will land... using the time-honoured method.' The last frame shows someone about to throw a dart. Context: The suggestion is that they don't have a clue where it will land and that The risk to human life and property from UARS is "extremely small," NASA said, adding that in 50 years of space exploration no one has ever been confirmed hurt by falling space junk. UARS is the biggest NASA spacecraft to come back in three decades, after Skylab fell in western Australia in 1979.
