I really don't understand why we got our collective undies in a bunch over this satellite. Satellites fall back to Earth all the time. Most of the satellite burns up upon reentry into the atmosphere. Some parts of it do get through but nothing anywhere near the size of a car like some people fear. With the pieces that do get through keep in mind that 70% of the Earth is water. Of the 30% that is land, humans only occupy 1% in any type of dense population (40% is pure wilderness. 14% is true desert and 15% has desert like characteristics. 9% is Antarctica. Most of the remaining 22% are agricultural areas) So dense human population is present in 1% of 30% of the Earth.
That means that a satellite could fall to Earth and hit 99.7% of Earth and basically no one would notice. Settle down folks.
