Chinese Rocket hurling towards earth and could land anywhere

[KyCatFan1]

4.2 to 8.4 metric tons of material is predicted to hit the surface.

So possibly expect the equivalent of a semi truck to crash from space.

Its probably racist to identify it as Chinese

Only if it doesn’t identify as Chinese

No. Expect the equivalent of a semi truck going 17,000 miles per hour to crash from space.

I figured the high speed part would be common sense.

I remember a Russian space station or satellite crashing to the Earth in the mid to late-80s. It broke up over Kentucky. I saw it when it fell and there was no prediction about it.

Seeing as how the speed of out-of-control Chinese rocket debris plummeting back to earth is common knowledge... but the fact that the mass is semi-truck like needed to be pointed out.

Maybe I'm dumb but I wouldn't have thought it's terminal velocity would be that high.

Hope it don’t hit my moms house on Mother’s Day tomorrow. While I’m there

That PhD obviously ain't in physics. [laughing]

Good lord. F=ma.

Hit in the Indian Ocean.

State media reported parts of the rocket re-entered the atmosphere at 10:24 a.m. Beijing time (0224 GMT) and landed at a location with the coordinates of longitude 72.47 degrees east and latitude 2.65 degrees north.

 

[KyCatFan1]

I fully expect the remains of the rocket to cause some kind of environmental disaster knowing how China screws up everything.

Yup forgot it was acceleration. Haven't had physics in 20 years lol

Yup... been 20 years since physics class ugh

I'm betting it was made of asbestos and lead based paint.

And drywall.

Ima call it a Chinese rocket because it was made in CHINA!!!
