China's unmanned 31-tonne rocket to hit Earth tomorrow




(PTI) Beijing, Ta. 6
China's powerful rocket is feared to strike anywhere on Earth on May 9. China has not commented on the matter, but experts say there could be heavy casualties if the rocket hits a more populous city.
China's rocket became uncontrollable in space. The rocket is then likely to strike anywhere at any time. Last week, China launched the first module to build its space station. The rocket was supposed to crash into a designated place in the ocean, but it was out of control. An uncontrolled rocket is currently orbiting the Earth and will hit the Earth on May 9th.
The rocket is 100 feet long and 12 feet wide. It weighs about two tons. When it reaches Earth's temperature, most of it is likely to burn to dust. Other than that the part will fall into any part of the earth.
According to Holger Craig, head of the European Space Agency, a large part of the earth is surrounded by the ocean, so let's hope the rocket lands somewhere. However, given the current state of the rocket, it could strike cities such as New York, Madrid, Beijing, Wellington. The greatest danger is looming over New York.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman was asked about the matter, but China did not respond. China's state-run newspaper, the Global Times, described the incident as "very ordinary" and said that rockets from other countries were hitting the earth in the same way. There is no reason to worry that it will be reduced to dust by entering the Earth's atmosphere.
