Good morning, floor! Thank you for keeping [me] from falling through Earth into the darkness of space.

(CNN) — The earliest possible re-entry of a decommissioned German satellite into the Earth’s atmosphere was pushed back to Saturday evening Eastern time, the German space agency’s website said.
The agency originally had projected Saturday afternoon as the earliest re-entry for the satellite, which could include up to 30 individual pieces of debris.
As of 4 p.m. ET Saturday, the agency’s latest prediction narrowed the re-entry to a six-hour window during Saturday night.
“The largest single fragment will probably be the telescope’s mirror, which is very heat resistant and may weigh up to 1.7 tons,” according to the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
The time and location of the Roentgen Satellite’s (ROSAT) re-entry couldn’t be forecast precisely, and officials estimated the fiery event to occur any time between 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday and 1:30 a.m. ET Sunday, the agency said.
“Taking into account the most recent data, ROSAT will not re-enter over Europe,” the agency said.
You need to watch this.
You don’t know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer, you don’t know how to bring the salmon back up a dead stream, you don’t know how to bring back an animal now extinct, and you can’t bring back a forest that once grew where there is now a desert. If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!
Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth,
“you owe me.”
Look what happens
with a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
…there are some people who really do want, if only subconsciously, an end to the world. They want to be spared the responsibilities of maintaining that world, to be spared the effort of imagination needed to realize such a future. And of course, there are other people who want very much to live. I see twentieth century society as a sort of race between enlightenment and extinction.
Just like many people bring tote bags to the grocery store, shoppers at In.gredients will be encouraged to bring their own containers to pack up items like grains, oils, and dairy. If a shopper doesn’t have his own containers, the store will provide compostable ones. It’s as if the specialty bulk food section rebelled and took over the rest of a traditional grocery store. In.gredients will replace unhealthy, overpackaged junk with local, organic, and natural foods, and moonlight as a community center with cooking classes, gardening workshops, and art shows on the side.
