The most recent elset looks crazy:

1 23805U 96012B   96062.75066898  .00011831  59422-9  77606-4 0   174
2 23805  28.4530 221.7234 0059282 242.1655 104.4937 15.71978317  1394

If this 62.75 elset is correct, the tether has broken and everything
below is now quite wrong.

The drag is much too small and the mean motion is smaller than the
previous elset:

1 23805U 96012B   96062.54253819  .00554567  13054-5  36081-2 0   166
2 23805  28.4600 223.2534 0060074 242.3230   4.5459 15.72094665  1366

The predicted elsets below use the 62.54 elset, not the 62.75 elset.

I still predict re-entry on the 15th.  But of course the last few days
are very uncertain.

The checksum digits on these elements are not valid.
