A huge, dead satellite tumbling to Earth is falling slower than expected, and may now plummet down somewhere over the United States tonight or early Saturday, despite forecasts that it would miss North America entirely, NASA officials now say.

The 6 1/2-ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) was expected to fall to Earth sometime this afternoon (Sept. 23), but changes in the school bus-size satellite's motion may push it to early Saturday, according to NASA's latest observations of the spacecraft.

What are the chances of getting hit by space junk?

"The satellite's orientation or configuration apparently has changed, and that is now slowing its descent," NASA officials wrote in a status update Friday morning. "There is a low probability any debris that survives re-entry will land in the United States, but the possibility cannot be discounted because of this changing rate of descent."

Think we'd all better wear hard hats tonight? =)

If I were a betting man like I use to be, I would bet it crashes into the UN Building!

Here is what Timothy Snodgrass posted on his website today:

The odds that a satellite would just happen to crash into earth on the same day a major bid for a Palestinian State would take place at the United Nations is astronomical, and should be interpreted as a further warning to the nations of the earth to not interfere with the borders of the land of Israel, given to the children of Abraham as an eternal inheritence by God.
