Another satellite coming down this weekend

Anyone else find it worrisome that for all the whizzbang gear, and the vaunted scientific knowledge we're fed that they haven't the slightest clue where and exactly when this will impact? They can plan to land Curiosity on a dime on Mars but they can't do the match for a clapped out piece of space junk? Just how good are these guys really? :cool:
 
Sooner or later something's going to hit a populated area.

They talk on the science channel about plans to divert a huge asteroid but they can't even stop a small thing like this???
 
"Space Junk" -- Devo

She was walking all alone
Down the street in the alley
Her name was sally
She never saw it
When she was hit by space junk
in new york miami beach
heavy metal fell in cuba
angola saudi arabia
on xmas eve said norad
a soviet sputnik hit africa
india venezuela (in texas
kansas)
it's falling fast peru too
it keeps coming
And now i'm mad about space junk
I'm all burned out about space junk
Oooh walk & talk about space junk
It smashed my baby's head
And now my sally's dead
