A Chinese rocket’s debris could be headed to an inhabited part of earth. Find out how space junk could impact our future. RELATED: https://bit.ly/3o0TsC2
A section of a large Chinese rocket is falling back to Earth and is expected to crash sometime Saturday. It could strike an inhabited area, experts warn.
Where it will hit “cannot be pinpointed until within hours of its reentry,” the Pentagon said in a statement this week.
U.S. officials are watching the rocket’s trajectory. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is “aware and he knows the space command is tracking, literally tracking this rocket debris,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said.

Imagine wasting money like that instead of cleaning environment. Just they’re destroying environment
Meanwhile Japan is being congratulated by Blinken for planning to empty nuclear waste into Pacific.
already landed on Xi Jinping's head
Where ever humans go, they some how leave trash behind. It was only a matter of time humans would trash up the universe. If humans ever able to occupie another planet, we will screw it up with trash as well.
The issue is brainwashed religious humans think some magic gods or praying away the garbage will make it disappear. No need to worry about the earth's condition as they think they are going to some magical heaven when they pass on.
This is one of many how religions hurt us all.
Our new (pedophile) president is an idiot and will continue to piss off the Russian president. We might not be around because Russia and the USA will nuke us all.
Doesn't US have scientists? What this guy talked about have no data back up essentially offer no insight. But I guess that meet the US media's hidden agenda to portray China as evil at any opportunity.
Joshua 10:12-14
[12]Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
[13]And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
[14]And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
Stop giving Aid to China 🇨🇳
Ccp does not care
only Western care about this
Made in China falling the sky
If all that space junk is going around the earth on a regular basis, how do the astronauts get through all of that debris on their way to the moon or to the space station without getting slammed?
😜😜Xi Jinping Watching this video be like : According to this, Indian Ocean is now Chinese Ocean.🇨🇳🇨🇳
As if there are not a single debris from US in space
Im literally terrified and i dont know why
Just shoot another rocket it's that speasy
Gonna regret not shooting it down when it Lands on the whitehouse
you clearly said something like "the rocket they launched unfortunately got into orbit" what are you even talking about? it should be into the orbit since it's designed to send its payload to the orbit with a single stage of rocket then falling back to earth just like any other rocket debris. why don't you talk about the falcon 9? the second rocket stage also falling back to the earth and you guys described the debris as "dazzling light", disgusting.
it fine t already crashed into teh ocean
China should be acknowledged by UN as a threat to the humankind.
So there’s space trash blocking us from
Space ?
God dam Irresponsible Chinese Communist Party couldn’t be bother managing their space junk. Utterly disgusting behaviour. Not surprise that they screwed up in Wuhan Biocontainment Lab and released Wuhan Virus that caused a global genocide
Lol, so so dumb all the media is trying to create fear. Your chance of getting hit by it is lower than winning lotteries 10 times in a row.
Well, hate to disappoint you, as we saw, most of the rocket actually burned during re-entry and the rest fell in ocean.
Attention mindless and uneducated sheep, america dropped one of its own rockets on the pacific northwest a few weeks ago and tonnes of video about how non-racist rocket debris burns up into pretty pretty lights when falling through earths atmosphere, you even crashed a shuttle (Columbia) into yourselves and it still just burns up upon re-entry…
China… due diligence? Yeah right.
No images from space 😂
Only 3d images earth is a flat
Hopfully it lands in the ocean cuz I want everyone to be safe
What a great piece of publicity for China's space. It does matter how much China tried to showcase to the world its aerospace program. The western media shows no interest whatsoever! And now they tell us that their rocket is coming back to earth "uncontrollably". Everyone is showing so interested in it. Even my 80 years old neighbor's telling me about it. He just could believe China has a space program let alone building a "Space Station". The "ISS" is due to retire in 2024, I know they are trying to extending it to 2028. I also tried to extend my 1999 FORD for another 4 years, but the trouble is, it keeps breaking every couple of weeks.
