Another Chinese rocket booster poses Earth impact danger

A massive Chinese rocket booster is headed for an uncontrolled fall through the atmosphere Friday, sparking concerns that pieces of the giant vehicle could crash to Earth.

It’s the fourth time in two years a large Chinese rocket has headed for an uncontrolled impact and that has many space industry experts crying foul.

Over-hyped as usual:
In the end, the risk that a piece of a debris from the rocket will fall on any one person is roughly six in 10 trillion, Aerospace Corp. estimates.

The US are always trying to slander the Chinese space program, yet they can not launch Artemis for the past 3 months

If any death or damage occurs, China must be hit with a nuclear retaliation attack on one of its big cities. They have to learn that there are consequences for their actions.
