China rocket debris falling toward Earth this weekend; point of impact still unknown
Fox News
The core of China's Long March 5B rocket is predicted to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in a matter of hours, but scientists and government agencies still cannot pinpoint the debris's point of impact.
However, Long March 5B -- launched to carry a module for China's first permanent space station on April 28 -- was not designed with the safeguards that would help to steer the spacecraft away from land or villages off of Africa's Ivory Coast, where more "shrapnel" from a Long March 5B rocket crashed last May. Photos posted to social media showed the long, javelin-like metal poles that damaged buildings, miraculously missing residents.More Related News
