Skylab may crash to Earth in late June to early July
NASA warns the 118 foot Skylab could descend through the atmosphere between June 26 and July 9. An estimated 400 to 500 debris pieces may reach Earth over a 4 000 by 100 mile area with a 5 000 pound ring and a 4 000 pound vault among possible survivors. The chance of harm is tiny and falls like meteorite risk, with ocean splashdown the preferred outcome.
