A water splashdown is the highest probability. But I think even with the 52 degree envelope, Russia is still probably the largest landmass in that envelope? So I take ironic pleasure knowing it’s more likely to smack back into Russia than any other country.
(I’m making an educated assumption about the geography, but could be wrong)
- femto 4y ago52 degrees pretty well lines up with Russia's southern border. Virtually no overlap.
- Gravityloss 4y agoYes, makes sense, because of physics. When the Soviet Union wanted to launch something to space, it did it as close to the equator as possible. That way you get the most boost from the spinning earth. (If you're not using a polar orbit.) So they used a southern point of Soviet union in Tyuratam in Kazakhstan, better known as Baikonur.
