SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Typical mission life is 15 to 20 years for most satellites. The ISS may crash down in large chunks, not the smaller birds. - CONTROLLED RE-ENTRY OF SATELLITES AT THE END OF LIFE - Satellites often burn up completely on re-entry because of the flight path that puts them at an angle to where they would burn up. When the occasion occurs, satellites with Heat Resistant metals are directed to a pre-determined area, region, to which the debris is to fall. This is considered as being the best option in terms of safety as one can ensure that the object will fall in specific low-populated regions I guess in an Apocalypse there is no - CONTROLLED RE-ENTRY OF SATELLITES AT THE END OF LIFE To your point The world's oldest scientific satellite is still in orbit. Nearly 60 years ago, the US Navy launched Vanguard-1 as a response to the Soviet Sputnik. Edited October 7, 2019 by SlimShady'sGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judith's a good measuring stick for this. Some quick googling actually lists her as 10 years old, which surprises me a bit. So I guess they're right around 11-12 years into the zombie apocalypse. I never really paid too much attention to the timeline, but since the show is in season 10, I guess that means all of this is happening right around present day for us, which is a nice little coincidence with the time jumps. Would that make it roughly at least 30 years old satellite since it's Soviet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I didn't like was how quickly everyone from Alexandria got there. They've never really established the distance between Oceanside and Alexandria, but this one made it seem like they're right on top of each other. Maybe I would have liked a different reason for the fire, something a bit more common, but at least it wasn't a beer bottle shaped hot air balloon or an army of children building a functional airplane.

My guess .... Its the Chesapeake or even the Potomac River where it meets the Chesapeake. From Alexandria, to get to the ocean, you have to go into DC to get to the Chesapeake before you need the bridge 950] to get you to Delaware / Maryland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole thing with the subscription service really blurs things. I'm not really familiar with their other shows beyond Better Call Saul, so I don't know how many people are really flocking to that service. It doesn't feel like they produce their shows quickly enough to make it worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my wife and I were fans of TWD and FTWD -- watched them both religiously -- but we haven't watched TWD since the first couple of episodes post-Rick, and we haven't watched FTWD since that weird crazy lady who left boxes for people. Don't miss either one. Totally jumped the shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundancer Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 The satellite crashing relatively undamaged within walking distance sure feels like a shark jump risk. And Eugene is going to MacGuyver some 1985 USSR tech into a fusion powered robot? I'll give them some rope but not much. The writers would be smart to stash that satellite in the Jersey Pine Barrens with the guy from the Sopranos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lydia would be too obvious. It makes me wonder about Siddiq, but all the PTSD doesn't really mesh well with him being a mole... unless its guilt. After that, the only meaningful options would be someone from Magna's group since they're still new to the community. If it winds up being some no namer, that feels like weak storytelling to me: "oh yeah, you know this person we've shown once lurking in the background? Mole." Edit: I guess your last line probably hits on it. There are single whispers hidden in various places, reporting back. I just don't know how any of them would have been able to survive that storm unnoticed, and then able to report back. Did the eyes open on the dead one? I wasn't really paying attention.

shrader Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Daryl let him out, didn't he? It seems a bit reminiscent of when he was let out of the Sanctuary (I forget if it was Dwight or Sherry). You'd think that there's no way he'd ever let Negan go, but it looks like the whole fatherhood thing has him doing anything he can for Lydia. Saddiq's PTSD is so severe at this point that I think we'll be finding out shortly that he was forced to behead a couple of the pike victims. The tearful goodbye for Luke as he's leaving with Michonne and little ass kicker? It seems like they're trying a little too hard to make us think he's not coming back alive.
