Your chance of being negatively affected is far less than Biden’s (or whom ever is controlling him) effect on the economy.

“...Odds are that bits and pieces from the booster will fall
into the ocean or onto uninhabited areas,
but there’s a nonzero chance for it to threaten human lives and property...”

having achieved escape velocity
that should be "orbital velocity", not escape ... typical science-illiterate writer
should’ve performed a controlled deorbit shortly after its separation from Tianhe, but it’s not yet clear why this didn’t happen
Chinese "quality"

Man, if that should hit Washington DC at exactly the right time...oh well, a feller can dream, can’t he?

I wonder if Taco Bell will have another target for free tacos, like the did when Mir re-entered.

For those who want to track it, track satellite identified as 2021-035B. It’s over Africa now.
To: bitt
Maybe it will hit something that needs to be destroyed, like the Kaaba or one of the ChiCom artificial islands?

What goes up ...
I am kind of wondering what happened to about 100 of those SpaceX satellites that apparently have disappeared:

Likely? It’s certain.
Oh, and in other news, apparently other countries, other than China that is, have been not letting objects of larger than 10 tons make deliberate uncontrolled re-entries since 1990. This one’s 21 tons - and it’s 2021.

It is funny that the ChiComs are so adept at stealing Western technology, yet SOOOO terrible at copying it!

Trump should have done something about that. It’s his fault. He and his followers will deny it, but they are all responsible for this. The glorious leaders of communism had NOTHING to do with this impending threat. If it hits a capitalistic country, they attracted it. If it hits a totalitarian state, reparations must be paid. The workers of the world should unite to fight all capitalistic pigs who allowed technology to be stolen for this monstrosity to be built. I could go on, but that should be a clear enough explanation as to who is responsible. If you don’t get it, off to the re-education camp with you!
