"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown April 01, 2018, 09:10 PM

So are we looking at an hour delay on this live tracker?
I am staying up until it crashes live.

It was live, though in some cases delayed I noticed, but in any case quit completely as the station left orbit. I guess that's the reason? They were orbital trackers, not reentry trackers.

It’s still running. The Timex tracker... keeps on ticking.

"Meaningless" being the operative word. For the last two days.
Direct access to these events is an advantage we enjoy w/ the internet but in this case it revealed some shortcomings. I appreciate the attempt though.

I had edited my post before/as you posted kkina.
I enjoyed this whole event and thank you for your link as I spent much time following the event.
Its conclusion just wasn't what I expected from following our links.

bendablewhen gemini's were out flying around , they made it emphatically clear that an astronaut can NOT just simply aim for the earth ,
he has to very carefully calculate the exact correct angle of re-entry , so as not to skip off in to the vastness of outer space.
