Another softball article that stands in contrast to the recent hysteria about chinese rocket debris. Not a great look that these stories are basically back to back this year.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoWell their are some notable differences between the two cases. Uncontrolledly entry of fairings and small rocket components are common and standard practice around the world. On the other hand, the Chinese Long March is the only rocket in the world with uncontrolled entry of a full first stage (much larger). Every other country and rocket manufacturer direct them somewhere for controlled entry. With that said, I don't think either are worth getting worked up about.
