Aerospace’s last estimated splashdown position was evidently a few minutes of orbital travel time too optimistic.

I don’t know how much of a light show Tiangong put on for the South Pacific islanders, but if there are any surviving cargo cultists among them, their explanations would be interesting to hear.

We are to expect brown-outs if they have to divert power to the deflector array.
