Update on Progress M-27M reentry.

ESA Space Debris team reentry predictions now show the reentry window has shrunk to include just the night of Thursday/Friday, 7/8 May; we can exclude any time after early Friday morning. There are some first indications that the likelihood for a reentry over North America or Europe has dropped significantly.
In six decades of space flight, no person has ever been hit by any piece of reentering satellite or debris and there is nothing related to this situation to indicate otherwise. We all accept much higher risks in our daily lives by driving a car or flying in airplanes.
It is most important to understand that the risk on ground to anyone is extremely small.
