we're now just a few hours from the crash window

have you guys called your loved ones to say goodbye yet?

I did that poo poo when they said we were gonna die in Okinawa in 03/2011.

do we have any real cool science experts that can tell us why it has to re-enter at all? Like, did it just lose speed and slowly drift lower and lower and now the earth is pulling it down?

Same reason the last year has been the way it was.

Very poorly designed, lazy cost cutting, sloppy work, negligence, incompetence.

Normally countries do a better job designing their space rockets specifically to avoid this, it is very easy to avoid but it takes effort and work and you can apparently still get the rocket to go all the way into outer space and claim a 'win' and let the foreigner deal with the big metal thing falling out of the sky.

I guess it's an improvement over their previous launch where it fell over and flew sideways into a village and exploded and killed god only knows how many people.

I just finished grooming poo poo out of a long-haired dog (it wasn't even his, he just rolled in a wet sheep plop) and I come back in here to find out china is dropping this drat space rocket right on Disney world. I've spent the past year+ not doing anything, looking forward to the end of covid so I can go back to WDW and that drat place is about to get popped out of existence.

This is the 2021 sequel I was expecting, though not exactly this

"...a masterpiece that no one can read too often, or admire too much."
So any country can just cobble poo poo together and throw it into space regardless of their ability to keep it there? I feel like you should have to pass a test or something, or like if you have "wiped entire village off the map" in your space program's record, you don't get to do more space for a while.
