I was very sad to see the rescue mission didn't work. And now I guess Swift is also going to have an uncontrolled reentry? And it's pretty big and not designed to "fully demise" (though of course I know better than many that "full demisability" for satellites is a lie).
I really don't like this russian roulette game, even if deaths are an extremely low probability, there are so many reentries now that bad things will happen.
