Either its orientation and/or its shape in such a way that the drag rate has dropped slightly. the aerodynamic forces are less. as a result, it has delayed the time of reentry. >> so now, trace, we are told that reentry could take place late tonight maybe even early tomorrow morning, trace. >> trace: okay, so we know it's late. any more clues about exactly where or when this thing might hit? >> no. i wish i had more information. to be honest with you nasa says my guess is as good as theirs, for real. these are rocket scientists. seriously. take a look. when this thing breaks apart. we are told...
