Looks like it will be well south of the Okanagan, but no one really knows at this point.

Thanks to Col. Chris Hadfield for posting this on his FB page.

I thought I read it is more likely the US or Russia or some place might get hit, but Canada was not on the list. Would be exciting if we could see something. China does not want to admit it is out of control while at the same time they have no clue where it will go down.

Burned up over South Pacific.

The space lab Tiangong-1 (translated from Chinese "Celestial Palace-1") made an uncontrolled re-entry into the atmosphere on Sunday (April 1), breaking apart in a fiery plunge over the southern Pacific Ocean at about 8:16 p.m. EDT (0016 GMT on April 2), according to U.S. Strategic Command's Joint Force Space Component Command.

I thought for sure it was going to end up in my backyard.

South Pacific it is.

Yep, I remember back in 1979 when Skylab came down somewhere in Western Australia.
