Chinese Rocket Gets Uncontrollable In Space, Crash Alert In India, US, And Spain
The charred remnants of a rocket booster plunged uncontrolled back to Earth Friday morning, an event decried in the West as an irresponsibly risky move by the China National Space Administration
The world is once again troubled by the antics of China. Actually, a rocket booster from China has gone out of control in space. He can fall to the ground at any time. This rocket is moving towards the earth at high speed. It is not yet decided when and where it will fall, but space experts believe that it can crash anywhere in the next few hours.
Scientists said that Chinese rocket fragments could fall in parts of America, India, China, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Africa. At the same time, in view of this danger, Spain has closed its airport. Spain says Spanish air traffic controllers have noticed the wreckage of a 23-ton Chinese rocket passing through its country.
China's rocket is the core booster of the Long March 5B. It was launched on 31 October. With the help of this rocket, an Experimental Laboratory Module for Tiangonge Space Station was sent into space. According to reporters, its weight is about 23 tons, its height is 59 feet. If this rocket falls in a city or area, then there can be a loss of life and property on a large scale.
NASA calls China's actions irresponsible. The US Space Research Agency (NASA) says that Chinese space officials have created this threat. NASA has described such actions of China as irresponsible many times in the past.
This is the fourth time in two years that the debris of a Chinese rocket could fall to the ground. Earlier, on the night of July 30-31, some pieces of the rocket fell on the earth. This 25-ton rocket took off on July 24 with a module to complete China's unfinished Tiangong space station. Scientists had expressed concern about this too. Before July, the wreckage of the rocket landed in the Indian Ocean in May 2021 and Ivory Coast in May 2020. However, there was no loss of life or property in the cases.
