That's VERY bizarre, mate! I was sending mindwaves your way!

I did get to see Mir, but not entering the atmosphere. I saw it on Thursday night as a REALLY bright star that was crossing the sky fairly quickly. It went through Orion and disappeared westwards on its final orbit over earth.

I did have a friend in Fiji who said that he saw re-entry from a beach there, he saw about 5 pieces burst into flame as they entered the atmosphere. That would've been incredible to watch.

If civilisation died tomorrow and we started again from nearly scratch with little knowledge of history, I wonder if future expolorers would think Mir was an alien spacecraft....

Were you a bit afraid that the Russians may have done their calculations wrong and that you may have received Mir on your head ?

Not I. I thought Sydney might, because the News here pushed the line that Australia had made 'contingency plans'.

Nah, not really.

I'm one of those people who always think things will happen to someone else - especially things like a space station falling on my apartment.

And what would have been this 'contingency plan' ? A huge shield popping in like in SF movies ? A giant tennis racket ? A massive exodus ?

No, seriously, I am very curious of what they could have planned.

Possibly it was just a barbie on the beach to entice it to drop in.

Wow ! You live a dangerous life - what if Mir is a she and wasn't interested ?

Oops, sorry 'bout that Moiraine.

Seroiusly though, I don't know. That's all the media said. A contingecy plan, no more, no less. Memnoch? Leonis? (when you wake up) did you hear anything?
