25-Ton Chinese Rocket To Hit Earth Saturday.
It is the third time in the last two years that China has let its rockets fall to Earth in an uncontrolled manner. In May 2021, rocket debris landed in the Indian Ocean. In May 2020, a falling rocket rained metallic objects down upon villages in the Ivory Coast.
Experts still expect the rocket to land in the Pacific Ocean sometime between noon and 2:30 ET. Its decaying orbit still had it circling the Earth every 90 minutes as of early Saturday, making is difficult to pinpoint when and where it would land.
-end C/P
Seems to me that it is a crap shoot at where it will land and those that launch these Rockets know that.... this is like that child's game Pin the Tail on the Donkey.
WE DO KNOW THAT MOST OF THE DEBRIS DOES GET BURNED UP UPON RE-ENTRE BUT THAT IS NOT ALWAYS a guarantee that we will be in a save place :eek:
