Long March 5B, Chinese Rocket Debris Likely To Hit Earth In Next 24 Hours

While China has no control over the falling debris, authorities have said most of the components will likely be destroyed as it plummets.

The first thing to keep in mind here, scientists say is that you do not need to panic about this. This is not the end of days. Yes, there is a 22 ton chinese rocket that is hurdling around the world at 18,000 miles an hour and it's going to hit potentially somewhere in the world once it enters the Earth's atmosphere, which is believed to likely happen between May 8th, which is saturday, May 9th sunday Mother's Day or May 10th. So one of those three days, there is a chance that because this thing is so big, 22 tons is roughly 1/5 of the size of the U. S. Statue of liberty minus the base. So you've got big pieces of metal that might not burn up upon reentry. Like most things that fall from space do and they could land. Most likely, scientists say, over the ocean. The pacific ocean is the biggest, so maybe there's a chance it will come down here in the indo pacific region or the atlantic ocean, a body of water for the chances of hitting anybody are very slim. But what if the debris did come down in a densely populated area like here in Hong kong or new york, there have been incidents in the past where rockets have reentered and pieces have hit areas with people. There was a village small one that was hit With a 12 m pipe a number of years back, no major damage or injuries there. But when you talk about another scenario, the worst case scenario, sure, it can be pretty concerning and what's also a little bit surprising and troubling about this is that they won't know where this thing is going to hit Until literally hours before impact because of the fast speeds of the debris is traveling 18,000 miles one hour can make the difference between impact In one area or somewhere 18,000 miles away. But the lesson that we all need to learn here is that these things happen, They're going to happen and it might happen more because China is going to be launching more large rockets like this as they work toward the completion of their space station. By the end of 2022, In 2021 was supposed to be the year that everything got back to normal, right will Ripley CNN Hong kong.

NASA has lambasted China for its failure to "meet responsible standards" after debris from its out-of-control rocket likely plunged into the Indian Ocean Saturday night.
"Spacefaring nations must minimize the risks to people and property on Earth of re-entries of space objects and maximize transparency regarding those operations," said NASA Administrator Sen. Bill Nelson in a statement released on the space agency's website Sunday.

Chinese rocket debris is expected to crash into Earth soon. It's not the first time.

AP
The large Chinese rocket that is out of control and set to reenter Earth’s atmosphere this weekend has brought about an alarming but not unprecedented situation.
Space debris has crashed into Earth on a number of occasions, including last year.
The good news is that debris plunging toward Earth — while unnerving — generally poses very little threat to personal safety. As Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Astrophysics Center at Harvard University, told CNN: “This is not the end of days.”
Still, the episode has fueled fresh questions about space debris, uncontrolled reentry and what precautions might need to be taken, if any.
