Less than a week! At this point, my mind is just starting to go “ahhhhhh!”. But then I tell myself, Misty, keep your wits about you. If you keep your wits about you, things will go a lot more smoothly. you’ve prepared yourself to the maximum. you’ve prepared yourself for lots of contingencies. you’ve got plans A, B, C, D and E. Still, I can’t lie. Something is always bound to go wrong on a trip like this and I’m just starting to get a bit nervous. #BlindSoloTravel #Internationally #FirstTime

Low-risk, high-consequence outcomes, such as a piece of a #rocket stage #crashing into a high-density city 🏙️ or a large passenger aircraft ✈️. In the latter case, even a small piece could cause hundreds of #casualties ☠️. #Internationally, there is no clear and widely agreed casualty #risk threshold. #Governments have apparently chosen to bear the slight #risk of having to #compensate for one or more casualties ☠️., rather than to require launch providers to make expensive technological or mission design changes. Assuming that each #reentry spreads #lethal ☠️.#debris over a 10m2 area, we conclude that current practices have on order a 10% chance of one or more casualties ☠️.over a decade. nature.com/articles/s41550-022

NatureUnnecessary risks created by uncontrolled rocket reentries - Nature AstronomyEach uncontrolled rocket body in orbit poses a low casualty risk on reentry. But the cumulative risk is unacceptable and disproportionately borne by the Global South. Spacefaring states must stop exporting these risks and plan for safer reentries.
