My backyard in Ellicott City MD - then I'll be able to sell tourist tickets to view it at $100 each and have enough cash to purchase the 1933 Double Eagle coming up for auction in June.

Rats, I didn't realize we got five guesses. Oh well.
Come on, Kyrgyzstan...

Now that the contest is closed, it's worth noting that it should only be able to land within 41° 30' of the equator.

I guess it was not the Chinese rocket I saw last night, but the SpaceX Starlink satellite train.

I've decided to change the location to just which Country it lands on , not the City . This way it is more likely that someone wins . If the rocket blows up into thousands of pieces , the contest is over ,no one wins .
Once again good luck to the members who got their guess in by 10:00 am this morning .
Rest in Peace

Well I guess we all know by now that the Rocket fell into the Indian Ocean . No winners this time around but thanks to all that participated . Maybe someone else will try this the next time China allows one of their Rockets to fall to Earth .
