John,
It seems to be at about 80 miles in altitude. There isn't much air
up there to cause drag. We should see it really start to lose altitude
at about 100KM, 60 miles. Any predictions of whose heads this thing is
dropping in on?
GOD Bless and Thanks,
rich!

Yes, I've been watching the aerospace.org PNG for days now ... but it
is only a simulation based on orbital parameters acquired by various
observers, and if the vehicle is not acquired during an observation
that's the meaningful news. Not clear how we ascertain that.

Space.com says it crashed a few hours ago, over the South Pacific:

It re-entered about 9 minutes after I posted that

I was hoping it would make it to near the southern part of that orbit, as
that could have been over southern NZ - approaching one of the two
"graveyard" areas, but it "didn't quite" get there. About 10 minutes short.

​Many are artist's impressions or promo but a good %age seem to be genuine
photos pre-launch, launch and in orbit.
