@Blahblobify Seriously, what does left wingers have anything to do over failed Chinese rockets launched back in the 90's? And I don't quite think they pollute on scale never seen before, the rest of the world has been doing it for years.
1. A decent inertial guidance computer would correct for that immediately.
2. Meteorologists would stop or clear for launch on bad or good weather conditions respectively. Unless the leadership overruled the meteorologists, which tends to happen when political pride is at stake.
I bet it was uneven engine thrust or failed thrust vectoring.
@something1012 yeah we've failed but we never covered up our failures. typical communists would cover up the deaths of people. examples? look at chernobyl, they didn't say anything about it until the Swedes detected unusual radiation levels at their nuclear facilities only to realize the radiation was blowing in from around belarus/ukraine
GUST OF WIND, LOLOLOLOL! The Chinese are the same today... Always lying, always putting up fake images to try and control people's opinions. Such a false, shamefull mentality.
@Gregman420 You are absolutely correct. This needs to be said again and again. It is a mistake for the West to do too much business with that society. Let them lift themselves up; don't pay their way for them, which is what we have been doing. Stop buying their crap, literally and figuratively. We are the suckers in any relationship with them.
u know u guys are insulting the chinese here and also how many US or Soviet failures are there?? We just happen to be a developing country and u guys just stare at our failures and laugh your balls out while we happen to be doing stuff here SO SHUT UP
@tompolokcruise 17 American casualties. That's how many we've lost in our space program total. What did this video say? 500 or more Chinese dead in a single incident? Because of 'a gust of wind'? Sorry bro, but that's a complete and utter failure of a space program.
Do they not have detonation devices on their rockets like U.S. and Soviet designs did?
Also, did they consult with the Russians, or with the U.S. or heck, even with JAXA, before it was JAXA, ?
I hope China never succeeds with space operations because I dont want Commies in outer -space! I mean heck, even the CCCP worked with NASA some in the 70's and 80's. These guys just want to try to be jerks! It has nothing to do with peaceful space exploration!
its funny, because anything involving countries somehow leads back to america and their "dumbass citizens" thats a stereotype, just like all irish are drunken bastards and so-on, seriously people...don't think your all high and mighty just because your american and don't think your all high and mighty just because your NOT american
All this arguing over who has the better space program has left out the fact that if any of this is true the Chinese space program has killed more civilians than the American or European programs combined.
@jdoggybizzle Just to make things clear, I'm not arguing over "who's the better". I'm unofficially protesting against Discovery about their misleading information regarding this accident that apparantly killed 500 people squeezed in one spot for the rocket to hit? All because some attention seeking journalists captured a video with damaged buildings? 2:02 "Cleanup", yeah sure. Remember the 2008 Sichuan earthquake? It took months to clean that up incl. the (500) bodies, not 5 hours.
@Cubes001 It was 100 fatalities at the most, not 500, get your facts right. German rockets were not the reason they waged war on europe, it was that madman Hitler that ordered the killings of over 6 million people incl. mostly jews. Of course the victor gets everything, that is the americans and soviets. German scientists fled and immigrated to the US and some to the USSR, the former gaining most of the men & knowledge and the latter gaining the machines/tech.
Umm...sure the Chinese program has only had two accidents but they killed over 500 freaking civilians. The American space program has had fatal accidents, but they were astronauts that knew the risks and accepted them, not random people that had a rocket fall on their house. As for the Germans, they used their rockets to wage war on our allies, and after the war their scientists worked for us. Nothing was "stolen". To the victor go the spoils of war.
Yet chinese space program has only a total of 2 failures in its entire history.
Look at columbia and challenger explosions please... I respect germans the most over americans and russians, their innovation and rocket designs are ingenious, only to be stolen/exploited after ww2.
@HPhenomenal Oh, you want to compare numbers now? Look at the total failures list and then we talk. It's human error that led to such a disaster just like every other one you uneducated retard.
@SuzukiAkiraReita Oh yea because China has a space program that comes anywhere near the US or even EU. How do you compare numbers when you take your statistics from a small amount of launches compared to the many, many launches by the US over the past 40+ years. Come back when China even has a space program even worthy to be talked about. Also, never in the history of space rocket launches has there been civilian causalities, that is, if we are not including China. Ha!.
@rustygates First off, I never talked to you so you can shove that in your ass. Second, China's space program started in the late 50's and it's the 3rd nation to independently send humans into space. Third, I never started this comparing crap, I only mentioned something that IS common knowledge, CNSA had only 2 failures as of yet. The chinese space program is more worthy to be talked about than your miserable life, otherwise there won't be any dumb haters like you absorbed by its attention.
@SuzukiAkiraReita The Chinese space program is how old? And how much does the western world know about it? Not very, on both counts. We don't really know how many failures they may actually have had, just like it took decades to find out the whole story on the Soviet space program. And US space rockets have never come crashing down on whole villages, killing scores of people. Come back when you know what the heck you're talking about.
@iplayfhorn It started in the late 50's, a dozen years later than the americans/soviets. It's funny that you mention how much the western world knows about it (assuming nothing). Apparently, these western weisenheimer bureaucrats know everything down to this disaster, stating about 500 deaths which is a total overstated bullshit. I really do feel pity about some of you getting fed by this media bias. Again, assuming what you've said, they claim to know nothing yet they publish this crap.
@SuzukiAkiraReita While China has had 2 rocket disasters over around 15-20 years, the US has had two in the past 40-50. And technically only one rocket disaster: Challenger. Apollo 13 was an in flight incident that was caused months before it even got off the ground, and the Columbia burnt up in re-entry after a foam strike damaged the heat shield. Compare that with China, and the numerous people killed in the Soviet space program, and you would see the U.S. has had a better record.
@deathrooster14 I just told him off like that too, amazing how people with little knowledge or a lot of personal agenda can screw up the mathematical truths inherent to proper statistics.
@SuzukiAkiraReita Yet those two failures killed hundreds of civilians, yet the Shuttle disasters killed only the astronauts, yet the US has had many tests and successful missions spanning decades, yet the Chinese are 2 disasters out of very few operations, yet you get it yet?
@MrStonesword 6-100, not "hundreds", thank you. Research if you don't believe me, I'm not like others who immediately buy every media bias BS on youtube. Every country has had dozens of tests before sending humans into space, and China is the 3rd country to independently to do so. If you feel emotionally attacked, I apologize, not my intend.
@SuzukiAkiraReita And what/where exactly have the Germans done with their ingenious designs? 2 failures? You forgot to mention the callous loss of life due to poor planning. 500+ civilians dead; 17 astronauts have died in the US space program.
@OrionEffects You fucking genius, go look at former Nazi Wernher von Braun's biography and his rocket designs, NASA wouldn't be where it is today if not for him. BTW, according to the chinese there were 6 fatalities but other accounts estimated around 100 casualties from a small village, not 500 fucking western media bias. And a total of 27 deaths have occurred in the US space program, Columbia & Challenger accounting for 7 each, a total of 13 americans and 1 israeli. Gobshite.
@SuzukiAkiraReita You are aware what the Nazi's did with those rockets they built? They used them to (lack of a better word) shell London. Their rocketry didn't die in vain.
@Nascarking24 Duh. If I didn't know it I wouldn't mention it for others to tell? I studied Nazi technology. Operation Paperclip is what gained US the upper hand in the space industry. They captured german rocket designs and the father of rockets himself so to speak, Von Braun, and offered him asylum in the US in turn for all his knowledge and designs. Operation Osoaviakhim and Operation Backfire were UK and Soviet Union's plan respectively.
@SuzukiAkiraReita ... you realize that those german rockets were designed to crash right? also the reason there have only been two failures compared to american and russian is the simple fact that china doesnt launch nearly as many as america and russia. also quite a few of those american and russian accidents were from mainly german designed rockets
@RokkerBoyy You're the second person who's telling me that. I studied Nazi technology. Duh. I still admire their technological advances over every other nation, because without them there might be no space programs for at least decades. All those technology you see around you, PC, Smartphones, etc are in one way derived space technologies. The Nazi's are actually the first to send rockets into outer space even if it was designed to be a long-range ballistic missile.
@SuzukiAkiraReita also, if you are going to accuse russia and america of stealing german designs then dont forget to blame germany for stealing from Goddard who stole it from various world militaries who stole it from the turks who stole it from the chinese
@RokkerBoyy I never accused "Russia" (USSR actually) nor the USA. What I meant was, in a war, winner takes all, winner writes history. And you're going way off-topic. What you say is like the italians have stolen "Spaghetti" from the chinese because they invented noodles. If german technology was not "innovative" enough, why did Operation Paperclip say otherwise? Why does NASA employ WvB and make use of their enemies' tech? I was talking statistically, not everything based on 1 year.
@SuzukiAkiraReita Most credit you have placed where it belongs. As far as i know btw just to make the americans shush rockets where invented in the 1830' s . I myself like my soviet space programm but it had failures aswell. Besides the chinese literally started building rockets like this from scratch. No one gave them free technology. So this is kinda biased as to both my glorious soviet rockets and the americans have failed numerous times before they were perfected to say the least.
@RokkerBoyy Hell, you can ask me anything about those Wunderwaffen and Vergeltungswaffen. I was born in Austria, speak german and studied both AT-DE cultures. BTW, according to my sources, China has launched 20-25 rockets this year. It's not that few, compared to 15-20 or so US rockets in 2011, excluding space shuttle launches.
@SuzukiAkiraReita you cant list one year compared to an average. overall america has launched more rockets than china and considering the fact that we have launched more rockets the law of averages states that we would have more accidents. especially since when we started launching not a lot was know about rockets compared to when these accidents happened. also, i wasnt questioning your knowledge on WW2 german military, just simply pointing out that the "innovation" was not innovative
@SuzukiAkiraReita Very true my friend, but also consider how many resources they have available to them, after many years of research & development by historic space programs that produced results and data that future nations/entities can utilize.
Such a big huge country with lots of wide open land and they have to launch this thing right next to a village? I mean c'mon- how many rural villagers are living in the Gobi Desert? Seems to me that the Russians and Americans were much more prepared for failure in terms of protecting the population.
there is no way wind could throw a 420,000 pound rocket with hundreds of thousands of pounds of thrust off course...you might as well go yell at a rock to make it move
I unfortunately have many chinese military use products but what do you expect from a sold out country like america. I wish i could buy more american products but they are more rare and/or expensive. I think its more funny I would use enemies poducts against themselves.
It wasn't a gust of wind. You know there a these handle things that hold the rocket in place. During launch they lift up to let the rocket up. The lifting of the handles have to be precisely timed to make sure the rocket will not be impeded. The last of the 3 handles lifted up .04 a second too late.
wow, appalling to see so many idiots here who only know how to criticize.
Have some understanding of US and Soviet space exploration THEN give you expert comments for Christ sake.
You people make Americans look like dumb fucks sulking over the Chinese taking over your economy and jobs and the pride of what's left of the US space program
the chinese have abandoned chemical rockets and are now attempting to place a satellite in orbit with their more traditional gunpowder rockets. the prototype is a grain silo strapped to a giant redwood, with a really long fuse!!!
Chinese rockets are powered by N2O4 and UDMH -- on the plus side, those are storable at room temperature, and they ignite on contact. They're "easy to use". On the other hand, they're EXTREMELY toxic, and carcinogenic even in small concentrations.
If you're China, you go with what's easy to use, and to hell with the workers or even people living nearby.
BTW, all those soldiers who had to do cleanup right after the crash? Probably toast.
Human life is expendable to the Chinese ruling class; the deaths of 500 illiterate peasants is a joke to them, considering the tens of millions of Chinese murdered by communism since Mao.
Where are the necessary precautions - detonation devices on the rocket, an appropriate location to launch, health and safety for the workers - people are disposable
@jaredleospirit Ever since that incident China launch failure is rare. Instead of bashing China look around the world how many rocket failures are there. Japan, USA, Russia, France, India all had their fare share of failures. US and Russia has more failed launches than China as a whole, instead of talking rubbish look at yourselves first you ain't better. At least the Chinese are moving ahead with their space program while the US isn't.
@Zergcerebrates the one who fails the least accomplishes the least, my friend. how many nations that you listed have put men on the moon? oh that's right, ONE. and we didn't get there by winging it, it took lots of hard work and lots of failures to learn from to get us there.
Although the excuse sounds so ridiculous, and this was the worst time of China's space exploration enterprise, but considering incident rate, China has one of the lowest compare with Russia and new comers like Japan, Korea, India, etc. Check this out, rocket accident is quite common before: /watch?v=wDvTnY2QaHo
Wind is a bitch! Next on the agenda should be to not build launch pads right by populated areas! DUH! Well, that and try to come up with a better explanation than wind.
from a Chinese speaker, this video is littered with so much bullshit info and then commented by so many bullshit anti China dumbasses not even worth commenting
(they even got the date wrong by a full 35 days, lol)
1:49 That "secret" footage was shot after an earthquake. For Chinese people, the most memorable of these ancient rocket accidents is western media using fake video.
now im no Sherlock Holmes, but take another look at the shuttle, one of the boosters (i think thats what it is called) it has bigger flames which i think more power,hence thats why it did a u turn ,The chinesse are soo corupt its unreal!
this was considered early stages of chinese space program, every body has failures. For those that think the US is any better, /watch?v=CEFNjL86y9c&feature=related and think of it as inspiration for hollywood movies.

@SuzukiAkiraReita And what/where exactly have the Germans done with their ingenious designs? 2 failures? You forgot to mention the callous loss of life due to poor planning. 500+ civilians dead; 17 astronauts have died in the US space program.

@OrionEffects You fucking genius, go look at former Nazi Wernher von Braun's biography and his rocket designs, NASA wouldn't be where it is today if not for him. BTW, according to the chinese there were 6 fatalities but other accounts estimated around 100 casualties from a small village, not 500 fucking western media bias. And a total of 27 deaths have occurred in the US space program, Columbia & Challenger accounting for 7 each, a total of 13 americans and 1 israeli. Gobshite.

@Nascarking24 Duh. If I didn't know it I wouldn't mention it for others to tell? I studied Nazi technology. Operation Paperclip is what gained US the upper hand in the space industry. They captured german rocket designs and the father of rockets himself so to speak, Von Braun, and offered him asylum in the US in turn for all his knowledge and designs. Operation Osoaviakhim and Operation Backfire were UK and Soviet Union's plan respectively.
SuzukiAkiraReita 2 months ago
@SuzukiAkiraReita ... you realize that those german rockets were designed to crash right? also the reason there have only been two failures compared to american and russian is the simple fact that china doesnt launch nearly as many as america and russia. also quite a few of those american and russian accidents were from mainly german designed rockets
RokkerBoyy 2 months ago
@RokkerBoyy You're the second person who's telling me that. I studied Nazi technology. Duh. I still admire their technological advances over every other nation, because without them there might be no space programs for at least decades. All those technology you see around you, PC, Smartphones, etc are in one way derived space technologies. The Nazi's are actually the first to send rockets into outer space even if it was designed to be a long-range ballistic missile.

@SuzukiAkiraReita also, if you are going to accuse russia and america of stealing german designs then dont forget to blame germany for stealing from Goddard who stole it from various world militaries who stole it from the turks who stole it from the chinese
RokkerBoyy 2 months ago
@RokkerBoyy I never accused "Russia" (USSR actually) nor the USA. What I meant was, in a war, winner takes all, winner writes history. And you're going way off-topic. What you say is like the italians have stolen "Spaghetti" from the chinese because they invented noodles. If german technology was not "innovative" enough, why did Operation Paperclip say otherwise? Why does NASA employ WvB and make use of their enemies' tech? I was talking statistically, not everything based on 1 year.
SuzukiAkiraReita 2 months ago
@SuzukiAkiraReita Most credit you have placed where it belongs. As far as i know btw just to make the americans shush rockets where invented in the 1830' s . I myself like my soviet space programm but it had failures aswell. Besides the chinese literally started building rockets like this from scratch. No one gave them free technology. So this is kinda biased as to both my glorious soviet rockets and the americans have failed numerous times before they were perfected to say the least.

@RokkerBoyy Hell, you can ask me anything about those Wunderwaffen and Vergeltungswaffen. I was born in Austria, speak german and studied both AT-DE cultures. BTW, according to my sources, China has launched 20-25 rockets this year. It's not that few, compared to 15-20 or so US rockets in 2011, excluding space shuttle launches.

@SuzukiAkiraReita you cant list one year compared to an average. overall america has launched more rockets than china and considering the fact that we have launched more rockets the law of averages states that we would have more accidents. especially since when we started launching not a lot was know about rockets compared to when these accidents happened. also, i wasnt questioning your knowledge on WW2 german military, just simply pointing out that the "innovation" was not innovative

It wasn't a gust of wind. You know there a these handle things that hold the rocket in place. During launch they lift up to let the rocket up. The lifting of the handles have to be precisely timed to make sure the rocket will not be impeded. The last of the 3 handles lifted up .04 a second too late.

The Long March 5 should have been destroyed once it began straying off-course, four or five seconds after liftoff.
Yes, the launch pad might have been destroyed, but on the other hand, 2,000 lives (that's the number of fatalities I've heard) would have been saved.

Chinese rockets are powered by N2O4 and UDMH -- on the plus side, those are storable at room temperature, and they ignite on contact. They're "easy to use". On the other hand, they're EXTREMELY toxic, and carcinogenic even in small concentrations.
If you're China, you go with what's easy to use, and to hell with the workers or even people living nearby.
BTW, all those soldiers who had to do cleanup right after the crash? Probably toast.

@jaredleospirit Ever since that incident China launch failure is rare. Instead of bashing China look around the world how many rocket failures are there. Japan, USA, Russia, France, India all had their fare share of failures. US and Russia has more failed launches than China as a whole, instead of talking rubbish look at yourselves first you ain't better. At least the Chinese are moving ahead with their space program while the US isn't.
