Remember that extended mission the X-37 was on? I have a feeling we put something in orbit that junks the Chi-Comm rockets. ?
ROCKET MADE IN CHINA
A huge piece of space junk is about to make an uncontrolled re-entry back into Earth's atmosphere, threatening to drop debris on a number of cities around the world this weekend. It's leftover from China's first module for its new Tianhe space station — and no one knows exactly where it will land.
The 23-ton Chinese rocket Long March-5B recently launched the first module for the country's new space station into orbit. After the core separated from the rest of the rocket, it should have followed a predetermined flight path into the ocean.
But now, scientists have little idea where it will land as it orbits the planet unpredictably every 90 minutes, at about 17,000 miles per hour. As it soars through the atmosphere, appearing to tumble, it is slowly losing altitude.
The 18th Space Control Squadron, which tracks more than 27,000 man-made objects in space, narrowed its prediction to one orbit that includes Costa Rica, Haiti, Iberia, Sardinia, Italy, Greece and Crete, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Australia and New Zealand, according to astronomer Jonathan McDowell, who has been tracking the rocket's movement. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chinese-rocket-falling-debris-long-march-5b/
I think my point flew right over your head.
Yes, Chinese rocket is coming down. Did you know this also happened in 2020?
Chinese rockets seem to be not making it back to Earth as planned.... and my suggestion is the secret mission of the X-37 may have had something to do with both of these rocket crashes.
I do see what you're talking about. Might be true, might not be true.
