Most of the Earth's surface is ocean, and much of its land is uninhabited.

But Bill Gates is worried we have too many people. The Earth could easily sustain 40+ BILLION people, and still have lots of wilderness...........................

“the debris could fall as far north as New York, Madrid, or Beijing and as far south as southern Chile or Wellington, New Zealand, Reuters reported.”

What a huge window for the debris.

Is there any payment China will compensate the victims of their failure?

US Space Command is tracking a chunk of a Chinese rocket and it does not know where the debris will land.

Washington DC?

So is this going to happen every time the Chinese send another piece of their new space station up?

Stay away from that piece of rocket — it could be contaminated with something worse than COVID-19. Some new disease China is trying out on the planet’s population.

... Chinese Long March 5B rocket, similar to the one that was launched this time, reentered the atmosphere, debris reportedly landed on buildings in two villages in Ivory Coast. McDowell told Space News that letting debris reenter the atmosphere uncontrolled was "unacceptable".

Harvard astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell is being racist... the Chinese are 'of color' and therefore above criticism... Can't use the term Wuhan Virus - can't object to Chinese space junk killing people. Doesn't McDowell know that?

THE CHINESE ARE 'OF COLOR' AND THEY PAY OFF MOST OF DC, HOLLYWOOD, HI-TECH AND ACADEMIA... SO SHUT UP MCDOWELL OR YOU'LL LOSE YOUR JOB - YOU RACIST! WOKE UP OR ELSE...

21 tons. So about the damage footprint of a crashing semi truck.

We do get excited about stuff.

I have some Chinese Spacelab repellent.

I will spray your house for $100

I offer a complete guarantee. If your house gets destroyed by Chinese Spacelab I will pay you $1 billion.

And these are the best we got?

‘McDowell told CNN the risk of the debris causing damage was “pretty small”.’

Where is that Maxwell Smart shot—”this much”. :-)

The Chinese haven't gotten the knack of a controlled landing yet.
