An April Fool's joke?
Nope. By now you've heard of the falling space station.

As I write this email, it is just passing over the center of the USA, from
west to east, at at altitude of 165 KM.
It is expected to de-orbit once it gets below 100 KM.
That could be within the next 8 hours.

For live track information, centered on our location, see:

Heads-up, and have fun!
