“ I hope it wipes out the Vatican.”

Probably the same way sodom and gamorrah got taken out

But they’re certain we have less than ten years to “fix” climate change.

Pope Frankie selling out the Chinese Catholics and Christians to the wicked, godless CCP was especially egregious. It emboldened them just as much as Sleepy becoming the US pResident. CCP thinks the world is their oyster because of all the sellouts and knee benders to the corrupted CCP. China owns a big stake in Italian manufacturing too.

“it is unlikely that the fragments cause the collapse of buildings.”

And how many metric tons is this sucker? 21?
Did I hear that right?

Wherever it goes, I think the falling rocket has a sentient trajectory.

Vatican? White Hut? three gorges dam? 34 buildings?

Around the same time, NASA is sending up a rocket to disperse Barium (8 PM EDT tonight). Perhaps the ascending NASA rocket will hit the descending Chinese Rocket, and cancel each other out.

This is supposedly real time tracking. Not even close to Italy.

Given that I have seen time windows if +/- 6-12 hours, it is silly for Italy to worry about it now.

The second unwelcome gift from the chicoms since 2020.

24 hours ago they didn’t have a clue where it was going to land. 18 hours ago they confidently said it would land in the Pacific Ocean. Now it’s going to land in Italy. What will they say in 12 more hours?

"It landed"

Just practicing with their ICBM’s. Another method for delivering bio weapons.

I don’t get the “6 hour time window” thing. In six hours, an object in NEO object completes about four orbits.

Perhaps they are thinking that the orbits during that six-hour interval pass over Italy at some point, but it’s a matter of probabilities other than that.

In the east-west direction, southern Italy is only about 100 miles wide at most, which only takes about 20 seconds for an object in NEO (Near-Earth Orbit) to cross. Just as a mental calculation, 20 seconds is about 1/270 of (the orbital period of) 90 minutes, which gives a probability of 0.4% that any given chunk of the rocket will land on Italy.

Yup. But two points: (1) some of it may have not been carelessness but rather intentional; (2) the only nation who could force them to pay is the US, but with Xiden (an actual Manchurian candidate IMHO) as President that’s unlikely to happen.

First the Chinese brought them Covid. Now they’re dropping burned out rockets on them. What did the Italians do to piss off the Chicoms?

If the uncertainty is +/- 6 hours, it could land anywhere on Earth under its orbital track. It orbits every 90 minutes, after all.

The Italians will just throw some sauce on it and stuff the lasagna with it.
