 China says debris from its out-of-control Long March 5B rocket landed in the Indian Ocean and most of it burned up in Earth's atmosphere. Wait till you hear this. Remnants of China's largest rocket launched last month plunged back through the atmosphere on Sunday morning. It landed west of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean and ended days of speculation over where the debris would hit. After monitoring and analysing at 224 AM GMT on May 9, 2021, the last-stage wreckage of the Long March 5B Yaotou launch vehicle has re-entered the atmosphere, the China-Manned Engineering Office said in a statement and added that most of the components burned up in the re-entry. The US Space Command confirmed the re-entry of the rocket over the Arabian Peninsula but said it was unknown if the debris impacted land or water. The exact location of the impact and the span of debris, both of which are currently unknown at this time, the monitoring services space track which uses US military data confirmed the re-entry. And it tweeted that, everyone else following the Long March 5B re-entry can relax, the rocket is down. We believe the rocket went down over the Indian Ocean but we are waiting on official data from the US Space Force. US and European authorities had been monitoring the rocket, which was travelling at a speed of 4.8 miles per second. A difference of just one minute of time and re-entry translates to hundreds of miles of difference on the ground and earlier predictions had the rocket landing in several possible locations from the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. According to the experts, with most of the Earth's surface covered by water, the chances that it would hit land in a populated area were extremely low and the likelihood of injuries were even lower. But uncertainty over the rocket's orbital decay and China's failure to issue stronger reassurances in the run-up to the re-entry fuelled anxiety over its descent. China's foreign ministry said on Friday that the re-entry was highly unlikely to cause any harm. The Long March 5B rocket comprising one core stage and four boosters lifted off on April 29th and contains what will become living quarters on a permanent Chinese space station. And this rocket is set to be followed by 10 more missions to complete the space station. In May 2020, pieces from the first Long March 5B fell over the Ivory Coast, damaging several buildings but no injuries were reported. And debris from Chinese rocket launches is not uncommon in China and in late April, authorities in the city of Xi'an issued a notice to its people to prepare for evacuation as parts of the rocket were set to land in the whole area. The latest remnants of the Long March 5B rocket make up one of the largest pieces of space debris to ever have returned back to the Earth. But what do you guys think about this one anyway?
