    (Oct. 31) - A piece of space station trash the size of a refrigerator is poised to plunge through the Earth's atmosphere late Sunday, more than a year after an astronaut tossed it overboard.
    NASA and the U.S. Space Surveillance Network are tracking the object - a 1,400-pound tank of toxic ammonia coolant thrown from the International Space Station - to make sure it does not endanger people on Earth. Exactly where the tank will inevitably fall is currently unknown, though it is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere Sunday afternoon or later that evening, NASA officials said.

    Wait, didn't a piece of toxic spacejunk already crash into the Earth or is this another one? They're probably going to shoot this one like they did the last one.

    Would be bad luck to be just walking around outside and it slams into you.

    When I read the first post, I was thinking Oh crap! I hope it doesn't land on me. Then I saw Nitrous's post, and I want it to hit my house! Not really

    I predict that the object will probably land in the water. Just saying.

    The title's kind of pointless because objects from space hit Earth every day, they are just too small to notice.
