I saw this yesterday. It was just before sunrise and was quite spectacular, the light from some of the re-entering pieces being very bright. It was a Chinese Long March rocket upper stage re-entering , very close to Cape Canaveral.

He's probably too busy doing something presidential. Golf I expect.

Nah. That's one of those environmental laws he despises.

Shown a similar pic last year by a pilot that received a notification in flight - " *** urgent amendment to Notification XYZ". Pilot asked coms "what's notification XYZ ?" "Diversion ahead".

Further questions to flight coms clarified - "Urgent ! Change course 15 deg west. NOW !!". After course change, coms were nice enough to tell them they were on a collision course to intercept falling space-junk.

Didn't some Chinese space debris fall in Australia recently?
