NASA Criticizes China After Rocket Debris Burns Up, Falls Into Indian Ocean
The Epoch Times ^ | May 9, 2001 | Ivan Pentchoukov

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson criticized China for creating unnecessary risks as an uncontrolled core segment of its biggest rocket reentered Earthโ€™s atmosphere and mostly burned up over the Maldives before landing in the Indian Ocean on May 9.

โ€œIt is clear that China is failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris,โ€ the former senator said in a statement.

China: Standards, schmandards, what do we care? We’re the ones who like eating diseased bats and live mice at the outdoor market unless we get caught.

So Bill Nelson is now in charge of NASA??!! Didnโ€™t realize he was an ex-astronaut and/or astronomer. Do politicians EVER stop feeding from the public trough?

Bill Nelson went up in the Shuttle in one of the two Congressional Joyride flights in the 80s, before the Challenger disaster.

Jake Garn (R) from Utah was the other freeloader.

Last year about this same time, some other space crap from China fell to earth. Is this going to be a yearly event?

Because of the China virus, people have to go around wearing masks. Now we have the China rockets, does this mean we have to wear helmets as well?

Never forget the leftest Democrat John Glenn. His service as a lifelong Democrat gave him a free useless ride on the shuttle with the blessing of Bill Clinton. Neal Armstrong never had that inventation.

It wasn't just Glenn's "service as a lifelong Democrat " that got him a deadweight ride as a barfing 77 year-old on the Space Shuttle...

...it specifically was Glenn's blocking through parliamentary procedures of the Senate's investigations of China funding Bill Clinton's presidential campaign.

Add to this Glenn's membership in the Keating Five, and that's good reason to wipe his name off off the list of American Heroes.
