The U.S. Space Command is tracking uncontrolled debris from a Chinese rocket that sent part of a planned space station into orbit last week, the White House said on May 5.
The debris comes from the Long March 5B rocket launched on April 29 to deliver a new 22.5-tonne module for China’s Tianhe space station. The debris has since reached orbital velocity, meaning it is circling the planet instead of falling back to Earth within a predetermined area as usually happens with the debris from U.S. launches.
Let it hit Chappaqua.
“Uncontrolled” and “China” in the headline.
What could go wrong?
They’re called Act of God clauses, not act of china clauses, regardless of what we think.
Hope it falls on a walmart but not while it’s open.
Either that or I hope it falls on my property but not on a building. I’ll make a mint on ebay as suggested by another freeper
