- jermo 6y agoThat is a link to Chinese satellite launch mission. Would the booster even be noticeable in the US at aircraft altitude?
- mrtnmcc 6y agoYes, re-entry can survive for the lower velocity orbits all the way to ground depending on debris material and orientation. Air density is 20% at 40k ft, so much more likely to make it that far.
