It's probably like all the other Chinese junk floating around. It will fall apart, thus, it should completely burn up in the atmosphere.

At 3 am Saturday it is saying it will reenter in 2 days, 49 minutes. Won't that be Monday morning?

And now it says 1 Day, 20 Hours, 30 Minutes and a few seconds. That would indicate that it should impact on early Monday morning.

Whenever it happens I hope it would be when it's dark and over the ocean off the North East coast so we can watch it go into the ocean.
