They have bets on where it hits (I see some wishes)
Editor’s note: Kosmos 482 was last spotted by radar over Germany between 11:30p.m. to 6:04a.m. EDT, according to The European Space Agency. Radars could not detect the craft at a subsequent pass at 2:32 a.m. EDT, so "it is most likely that the reentry has already occurred."

As the number of new satellites in Earth's orbit increases every year, it will become more important than ever for missions to have "controlled end-of-life plans for large objects" and for space agencies to invest in debris removal technology, Woods added.
I'm sure US oligarchy are already on it. 😬
