Carbon fibre/braid birds nest
I don't think I would be standing anywhere near it, with 80,000 acres to hide in. pete

Re: Carbon fibre/braid birds nest
Think of 40000 hectares as 154 Sq Miles...
And only 22.8 days until you land...

Re: Carbon fibre/braid birds nest
Hi Pete
Occurs to me that a ball of space junk falling 27 thousand million miles from space at 5 billion miles an hour would make a hole  .
Wouldn't it

Re: Carbon fibre/braid birds nest
Yes Phil, could be BS - It would be pretty light though, being carbon fiber with everything melted out of it. That's pretty much sand he is standing on too, so maybe it bounced!! Probably a set line for cod, he pulled out of a river??. pete
20 DAYS and I go into space

Re: Carbon fibre/braid birds nest
Just the way it looks, it must have been tumbling as it came down. An object like that, spinning in at (what ?) about 1,000 rpm; makes you wounder how many miles it traveled as came into earth's gravity...
On the other hand, how about that guy in Sydney who bite the dog (pit bull, I think) to save his mate. Then the claim that it taste "doggy" sounds right.
Gents - only 20 days until you fly out, about 21 until you land.

Re: Carbon fibre/braid birds nest
Spike - No, Dave and I will get there before we take off- (Time difference 15-16 hrs) flight time about 14 hrs, so we will be going back in time !! . When I get back here, I lose something like 2 calander days, leave on Wed, land on Friday, I think - figure that out. pete
