NASA Administrator Statement on Chinese Space Debris NASA Administrator Bill Nelson released this statement Saturday regarding debris from the Chinese Long March 5B rocket:

“The People’s Republic of China (PRC) did not share specific trajectory information as their Long March 5B rocket fell back to Earth.

“All spacefaring nations should follow established best practices, and do their part to share this type of information in advance to allow reliable predictions of potential debris impact risk, especially for heavy-lift vehicles, like the Long March 5B, which carry a significant risk of loss of life and property. Doing so is critical to the responsible use of space and to ensure the safety of people here on Earth.”

... landed over the Indian Ocean ...


Landed over the Indian Ocean?

What? Is it hovering there somewhere?

What is it with space debris always being attracted to the Indian Ocean? Sort of like tornados to trailer parks and lightning to golf courses…

massive Chinese booster rocket fell uncontrolled to Earth on Saturday and landed over the Indian Ocean

What they fail to mention is that they were aiming for the White House. . .

“massive Chinese booster rocket fell uncontrolled to Earth on Saturday and landed over the Indian Ocean, according to U.S. Space Command.”

Wouldn’t it have oceaned rather than landed?

I was hoping it would hit Zhongnanhai.

Ah well.

I thought it was supposed to be a threat to British visitors in the Med?

When it comes to responsibility, China has long held Biden’s
policy the best way to go.

Blame everything on others, and duck.

“China decided not to guide the booster back through the atmosphere.”

They could have guided it but decided not to? Why would they do that?
