about 6 billion humans. So they take up about
6,000,000,000 square meters.
or .00118 percent of the earth. So roughly a 1 in 100000 chance of a single piece hitting a person. I'm too drunk to know if this is nonsense.
- jcitme 15y agoI suppose a satellite travelling at a very shallow angle would increase chances. Also, stuff like being able to eliminate locations such as antartica and the pacific, etc, reduces the amount of space that can be hit...

- growt 15y agoWell humans are not evenly distributed on earth and the area where the satellite will hit is within some known boundaries.
