The odds of being hit by a falling satellite is pretty extreme. You have a better chance winning the lotto or being eaten by a shark or getting me to watch Kevin James’ movie “The Zookeeper.”
NASA has warned us mortals that a satellite is falling from the heavens. I wasn’t so much worried that a huge chunk of molten shrapnel would spear into the ground as much as which satellite it was.
Thankfully, it’s not a DirecTV satellite so I can still watch my NFL Sunday Ticket and various movies.
But stuff falls from the sky all the time. Didn’t you see that movie “Armageddon?”
You don’t think Sasquatch just popped up one day out of nowhere, do you? Of course not. He’s an alien and he came from a ship that got lost on his way to an intergalactic kegger.
So with news from NASA that a satellite is going to fall to the earth today the world starts to panic.
Will it hit me? Will it wipe out my house?
The answer, of course, is ‘Yes, it will.‘
Send me a check for all your savings and I’ll take care of everything. Don’t forget your social #. I’ll need that, too.
The reason you should be freaked out is that this happens from time to time. The odds are slim but you’re probably going to be next. You can bet on that. It’s happened before and it’ll happen again.
