I’ve had that happen. Just awful.

…Not gonna say it. I’m sure it’s been said.

[beethovenfan]

I’m sure somebody gets executed for that.

Good God. And this, just about two weeks ago:

June 22: the booster of a Long March 2C fell into a village — most likely in Guiding County, after the SVOM X-Ray Telescope was launched from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan, booster falls back to earth near a village.

Anyone who would drive a Chinese car, fly in a Chinese plane, or travel on a Chinese made bus or train needs to have their heads examined.

And lest we forget-this is how the Communists value human life. The lives of individual citizens who might be underneath that booster when it comes down count for nothing in a Communist shame-culture society, in which the glory of successful spaceflight overshadows the value of their puny, insignificant human lives.

Mighty powerful engine if it can launch when bolted down.

Or else the bolts were made out of cheap Chinese steel that was meant to be shipped to America.

Spokesman Xi Go Pau, announced that China’s space administrative chairman Itso Ono, will be strapped to the next test rocket.

“Tianlong” is Chinese for Boeing.
