Progress M27-M is going down rough.

My guess is that it will come down over the Indian Ocean.

Bah, NASA has lost control of space.

It is up to Chinese to replace them.

I was hoping that it may just happen to land wherever that missing plane is, however, it has no re-entry capabilities so should burn up entirely.

It’s ok for them. They’re the only ones that a couple of tonnes of space cargo can’t land on.
