OMFG, Earth has space herpies!

[afrosheen6]

How do they control where this tank lands, cause it always seems to land in water with no one on board to control or steer it...

[Postie218]

@afrosheen6 It doesn't land, it burns up on re-entry.

Dude if there's aliens out there watching us they have got to be laughing their asses off.

-Alien dude 1 : LOL look, they are going crazy over a piece of metal they threw at their planet's orbit.

-Alien dude 2 : xD I know right? They are so funny.

[Dunndeer]

are there RCT on the External Tank to allow it to burn up in the atmaphere?

[djearthstu]

the other objects you are seeing is ice from the spaceshuttle

during take off ice builds up on the space craft due do freezing conditions and then falls off

At this point in flight is the crew still strapped to their seats and/or in their launch gear? Do they sleep in their seats or are there other (more comfortable) "places" for them?
