Re: Haz-Mat Team on Alert for Satellite Junk
That's IF anything survives re-entry. If anything does, hopefully it all falls in the ocean, so no one is directly affected. You would think that the heat from re-entry, if it doesn't destroy the chunks, tha tit would at least vaporize the fuel. I am not a rocket scientist, of course, but it does not take a lot to burn up fuel.
