Of course
Stuff is still spewing all over the place and most stuff is always expected to end up in the Ocean a Blue anyway. However if you follow the end of orbit red line there is a high chance some stuff will end up in Argentina and perhaps Chile.

Actually lasers were used by the two ground control stations. Satellite laser ranging to get a more precise orbit then conventional RF methods. Something I have no experience with, but sure could have used it on a former program I was on.

I refuse to call the islands by that name for the same reason I refuse to call Linux 'GNU/Linux'. The people insisting I do so claim to believe in freedom, but seek to deny me freedom to choose my own words.
