apparently China has been a little careless with its space junk and a large piece will crash to Earth soon. Weighting several tonnes, the section of the long march rocket could impact anywhere from New York to New Zealand, that is it it doesn't burn up on reentry. We should immediately demand this rogue nation clean up after itself and not put anyoneelse in danger

There has been over 60 deliberate destructions of orbiting satellites conducted by the US ,Russia ,and China . There are over 20,000 artificial devices we know of orbiting the earth and countless smaller junk that could cripple or destroy orbiting space stations . America's Skylab crashed to Earth . Mir crashed to Earth . 2009 a defunct Russian satellite crashed with a US communication satellite leaving over 2,000 pieces of smaller junk rotating the Earth . An average of 200 and 400 tracked objects enter Earth's atmosphere every year. Space junk is an international problem It will only become worse as more nations get the ability to launch .

FIRE THE LAZARRR!

Hurry Scotty beam me up, these humans are nasty!!

Thanks for the facts Tom, seems many more than the Chinese need to clean up their act. An opportunity is being missed here, all those wonder targets for testing exotic weapons. the UN needs a resolution here, no launch without plans for recovery of the vehicle and all components. Would give the US a clear advantage at the moment as they can recover some components

China has described speculation about where this Chinese junk will hit as western hype but they offer no assurances it is under control or that its orbit is known. China continues their spate of irresponsibility

What do you think the responsible thing for China to do about their space junk would be?

Send up a recovery vehicle or in the case of this one find a way to incorporate in their space station

redirect it to crash were there is no land mass .

If they can do that they can redirect it to crash into an "enemy" city and claim it is an accident. They allegedly have hypersonic missiles they therefore have the technology to destroy it

What do you think the responsible thing for China to do about their space junk would be?
Toss it into the Junk pile. America will do.

How naive you are

The US is responsible for the most debris in space, followed by Russia and China. America should take care of the Problem. I use to live with two roomies, If I wanted a clean house, I would have to clean it. Or should I have waited for my roomies to contribute? ClearSpace-1, set to launch in 2025, we're on it.

So China says the reentry is controlled, how come then it is aimed at Australia. I don't know how many more of these provacations we can stand

We will have to start seizing some Chinese fishing boats

It's being reported that the rocket landed in the Indian Ocean so crisis over?? And what are you going to do if it had hit Australia, or anywhere else for that matter??

Certainly require reparations

I see the Chinese are not letting up on the rhetorical pressure. Excuse me but it does appear that they are going after the weakest links in the 5 eyes ...the Aussies and the Canadians .

I like the nuclear deterrent, a little MAD will keep them in line

you mean the American umbrella ?

Actually Chinese nuclear doctrine is scary and I don't think they care about MAD . Not sure if they even care if they contaminate an island they want to reunite with ,

Nuclear plants a big security risk - Taipei Times (https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/editorials/archives/2021/05/10/2003757127)

No I mean doing what we should have done decades ago and acquire our own nuclear deterrent

bravo I am all in favor ,

I agree with that completely.

see our objectives arn't that different afterall

debate on the origin of covid 19 in China still rages

is China to blame for unleashing biowarfare on the world? it certainly has been a beneficiary

The Chinese are telling Australia and other regional nations that you were all tough a year ago when Trump was President but where is Trump now ? It reminds me of the period of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere when Japan announced that Great Britain and the other colonial powers were in decline and that Japan was going to lead the region by building a regional empire .

Yes those orientals don't have original ideas and the Chinese borrow from the past
