I’ve been tracking two things for the last few days. The decaying orbit of the Chinese space station Tiangong-1 (Heavenly Palace) and Andrew McCabe’s Gofundme page.
The tumbling out of control space station will likely reenter the Earth’s atmosphere sometime in the next 36 hours (Satellite Tracking).
There is some chance that it will rain down a few 200lb chunks of debris over land after the vehicle disintegrates and mostly burns up but remember three quarters of the Earth is covered with water.
Andrew McCabe originally intended to attempt to raise 150 thousand dollars for his legal defense fund. That’s right, not only did 45 slander him and fire him one day before his retirement, McCabe, a former high ranking but still actual working government employee also has to go to court. When the donation page appeared the goal had been raised to $250,000. The campaign has now raised $526,178. By my estimate that’s about half of what he’ll need. Right wing radio is of course lying about his net worth.
Donations have averaged about $40 but range from $5 to $100. In the first 6 hours they were coming in many a minute. That’s slowed to about one every minute and I noticed last night that the individual gifts were getting smaller.
Since he’s an honest man I believe he will be good to his word and only use the money to pay his lawyers and give any money that’s left to charity. I think it’s quaint that he thinks there might be some left. He should know his attorneys also have the Gofundme page open on their desktop.
