Just imagine the publicity if the damn thing hits their target, LOL.

I have to say, the whole prospect of a 135-ton space station crashing to the earth at 17,500 mph is somewhat terrifying yet ultimately fascinating. They say "only" 40 tons of the thing will make it through the burn-up of re-entry, but some of those pieces will be the size of a small automobile. Christ, you get hit by a penny going 17,500 mph you won't be long for this world. I am looking forward to catching some glimpses of the live video that the Mir-watchers are planning on taking. They keep putting off the day of the actual descent, but they do have a deadline.
