Pentagon Tracking Out-Of-Control Chinese Rocket That Will Be Reentering Earth's Atmosphere Around May 8

 

CNET: The Pentagon is tracking an out of control Chinese rocket expected to crash into Earth 

The Chinese Long March 5B rocket is expected to reenter Earth's atmosphere around May 8. No one knows where. But don't panic! 

It sounds like the plotline for a Bruce Willis movie: The Pentagon said in a statement Tuesday that it's tracking a large Chinese rocket that is out of control and expected to reenter Earth's atmosphere this weekend. The US Space Command is tracking the trajectory, Defense Department spokesperson Mike Howard said in a statement cited by CNN and expects the Chinese Long March 5B rocket's appearance "around May 8." 

Howard said the rocket's exact entry point won't be known until within hours of reentry, but that daily updates on its location will be provided at the Space Track website. 

Aerospace.org is also tracking the rocket, and as of Tuesday evening, was predicting a May 8 arrival, around 9:30 p.m. PT -- though predictions may change.

Such a textbook CCP media response: Everything is fine. No Chinese state actions can have negative consequences anywhere ever... it's just Western propaganda. They probably were saying the same while lying about the transmissibility of Covid-19.

It's doubtful that the Chinese would even care where it lands. It's someone elses problem now.

Something is not working. Chinese like people of any ethnic group are smart. I've had a few Chinese profs. I prefer Indian profs. An Indian prof may have a thick Indian accent, but it is understandable unlike some Chinese profs. Point is that as individuals, who have numerous smart Chinese, but taken as a aggregate whole in China/CCP there is a lack of performance.

If it lands on some people and making victims it will be the fault of America. And for Dem's it will be the fault of Trump.
