Sometimes this happens even to SpaceX but it is very Rare. But not with China they don't care where this falls they play the odds but have had this fall on land before.

So you're telling me there's a chance we might die? Nice.

It is a stupid bet but yeah lol. The problem is this happens every time China launches one of these rockets it happened last year. And they are more active now that they are flexing their Space Station build.

They make no effort to deorbit their rockets, every other country tries to guide their boosters down over a safe area China just let it rip on chance.
This will become a yearly event.

how can china not fucking land it properly or burn it up?

they shouldn't be allowed to just fire it into the ocean or even risk it landing on ground.

it does burn up a bit but it is freaking huge and 23 tons

they do not add any way to control the booster after it delivers whatever they sent up, this is the second time they flew this type of rocket and same results out of control fall back to Earth.

IMO they are showing off their biggest guns they want the world to take notice

Allowed? China is like North Korea lite when it comes to doing whatever they want. They don't care their rockets fell on their own villages before and they just don't report how many died.

wait until their space station comes crashing down in a couple years
