With an unpredictable trajectory that could have it crash anywhere from New York to New Zealand

Again. This is the second time in two launches for this rocket. Some spec they don’t care and didn’t design for it to deorbit burn to unpopulated area -- nm - spamlet May 3, 11:23
+/- 41 hours -- nm - JD May 3, 11:13
that feels bad. -- nm - Andie May 3, 11:09 3
- It's not the worst case scenario, at least. It could've been radioactive; folks were quite concerned about the Cassini probe's slingshot maneuver ... -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 11:14 1
  - We promise, 100%, it's not radioactive. - China May 3, 11:14
- They currently have a +- 41 hour window because of the uncertainty around it -- (link) - decline May 3, 11:10
