I'm curious how visible the debris cloud from this would be, given that it would be making a pass over Australia around 5-7 hours after a North Pacific descending node intercept. Given that they want to hit it quite high up, pieces would be re-entering for quite a few orbits afterwards, possibly days/weeks. Expect a light show if it is night here.

I'm also amused that they say the most likely piece to survive an intercept would be the fuel tank, despite the fact that it is the piece they claim to be aiming to destroy. Look out below!
