Supposed to fall late this week. Unfortunately, NASA doesn't know where. If it lands in some place we own where no one is that'd be nice or the ocean would be nice too. Hopefully it burns up in the atmosphere or they shoot it down.

That would be scary if it landed by where you live. I hope it doesn't hurt anyone when it falls.

By the time it falls, they will have the military or something there just in case it doesn't burn up in the atmosphere. If it doesn't they'll shoot it down. They're more worried about the Space Station falling cause it's so big. It's bigger than a football field!
