The time for this space station to enter into the atmosphere is hard to predict due to the solar activities.However, instead of worrying about it, people can actually go out side and look up this grand scene because both US and China indicate that the risk of any fragment surviving is quite small. ]]> 2017-10-20 23:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/xyujin/onk02m6x8uwq/wish/199227311 xyujin https://padlet.com/xyujin/onk02m6x8uwq/wish/199231130 To be honest I was scary when I first saw this title. I thought there would be a big crash one the certain area and it would damage a lot. However, it has no risk and more than that, it is a grand scene that astrophile are able to look up and take shots. It will show up like a meteor. Besides, the article mentions that space junk is a increasing problem. We should really take seriously of it. Otherwise, next time we will be worried about a falling of space station and crash to the earth. ]]> 2017-10-21 01:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/xyujin/onk02m6x8uwq/wish/199231130 xyujin https://padlet.com/xyujin/onk02m6x8uwq/wish/199231848 1.

When I saw the title, I was horrified by the fact that a space station will fall from the space and I am afraid that whether the space station will fall down into the place I live or not.

2.For the space junk, in my opinion, the best way to deal with it is to start planning the actions such as launch special instruments to collect the junk in order to avoid further possible negative impacts to the space.

3.I believed that if the crash junk continue to increase, there would be a large possibility for the existing satellites to collide with one of them and the damaged satellites will disturb the current orbits of other satellites, which produce a huge chaos.]]> 2017-10-21 02:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/xyujin/onk02m6x8uwq/wish/199233952 hsong1 https://padlet.com/xyujin/onk02m6x8uwq/wish/199241455 1.aviation(n.):

2. From my prospective, I personally suggest that we should launch some special spacecrafts to bring them back to the earth safely and then recycle them because most of their components are still reusable for scientists.

3. The answer is definitely yes. although most of them would be
worn down by the thick atmosphere, some big stuffs might pass through the atmosphere successfully and finally fall to the ground. ]]> 2017-10-21 06:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/xyujin/onk02m6x8uwq/wish/199241999
