GOCE satellite probably falling as I write this.

17:55 MST

Most Internet tracking info is off line but it seems it will fall in Antarctica or the ocean between Antarctica and Australia.

1. I have deployed my umbrella just in case.

One never knows about these things.

edit: wait... I just got a blip... it's heading toward the Indian Ocean if this site is working correctly. That would put in down in the ocean off Antarctica more or less.

4. GOCE is down

But they don't know where for sure. Somewhere on a path in the Indian ocean through Antarctica.

Welcome home GOCE.

5. I lost it just after I clicked on the page

because too many geeks broke the site and it went down for me.

6. Yeah...

I think the big problem was that the Faux and Blaze sites both had the satellite tracking sites posted live and it pulled all the bandwidth. Not many could follow anywhere because of the overload. Those sites probably aren't built for that kind of traffic.
