Actually if a piece of spacex poo poo falls on your house the whole thing will be covered up as a function of state law. While, yes, NASA will not blow up your home and the federal government won't cover that up. Instead, Elon Musk will blow up your home and the states of Florida and Texas will prevent you from doing anything about it/publishing anything about it.

I just don't get why they're still dropping bombs on villagers. They built a launch facility in Hainan, which is a more efficient launch site since it's closer to the equator and also goes over the ocean so it's safe. I get no one in leadership cares about blowing up a village since rural people are irrelevant, but like. At this point you're going out of your way to do it.

they have to keep the inland capability because the hainanese one is vulnerable to navies, i imagine and keeping capability means practicing no chinese launch provider (not a single launch provider, to be honest) is economically competitive with spacex. so it's all for national reasons

But Xichang is just stupid to continue operating. It'd be like NASA launching out of the west Chicago suburbs.

They could use a safer flight path , they could use a safer fuel source in the first stage but gently caress it, let it rip right over land. The chatter in the international community about the default to uncontrolled decay of decommissioned satellites and other large space debris has been getting louder the last few years too. They’ve gotten lucky but eventually someone or something of note is going to get smashed.

if it actually worked that way, he deserves a reward just for pulling it off. how do you expeditiously communicate the complexities of the board state via anal morse code?

At that point the amount of effort being put in is so outrageous that you would think you'd get more returns on just learning the game at a deeper level.

Big rear end On Fire posted:The chatter in the international community about the default to uncontrolled decay of decommissioned satellites and other large space debris has been getting louder the last few years too. They’ve gotten lucky but eventually someone or something of note is going to get smashed. Re-entering space debris really isn't that dangerous to people / stuff on the ground. One, it's a big planet and a lot of very small targets. Two, more importantly, anything in orbit is really flimsy. While pieces may reach the ground, it is usually small scraps and unlikely to kill someone even if you did get a direct hit. It is not like a car landing on you. More like some sheet metal and tinfoil. (Note: this is different from a spent lower stage, as seen in above vids. That is big and strong by comparison, has some heavy engines on the bottom, and generally a few hundred pounds of leftover fuel and oxidizer still inside. Nasty even if it isn't super toxic UDMH.) Controlled de-orbit of old satellites is I think more about space junk being a problem in space for other spacecraft.

yeah the vast, VAST majority of space junk that gets deorbited won't even make it to airplane level before incinerating itself into ash, let alone the ground. the space junk problem is because anything larger than a baseball or so needs to be tracked and accounted for, so cleanup efforts make things easier for everyone.
