Solar Eclipses vs ISS demise

Post by ChrisGreaves »

The demise of the ISS promises to be quite a site, and a much rarer even than a common or garden variety of Solar Eclipse :evilgrin: .

So I am curious.

(1) How many of us plan to be on a Big Jet Passenger Aeroplane in the viewing area of the flaming debris?
(2) What would we pay to be on that jet (Assume decent meals etc included in the fare)?
(3) How many of the previous residents of the ISS would you expect to be on that same flight?
(4) What language classes would you take to master languages other than your mother tongue?

Cheers, Chris

The only question I'd feel confident in answering is:

(5) How many of the previous residents of the ISS would you expect to be on the ISS at the time?

I was in the vicinity of the flaming debris of the Columbia Space Shuttle. That's not something I care to witness again, even of an uninhabited space station.

Hi Jay.
The only answer I am likely to give is "three", but I'm not sure how you would set about proving me wrong. :scratch:
