Chinese rocket booster may crash somewhere on Earth (NCD)BEIJING — A massive 10-story rocket booster is orbiting the planet, and expert skywatchers are unsure when and where it will fall back to Earth. While the booster is expected to burn up during re-entry eventually, some debris would likely reach the Earth’s surface, according to Spaceflight Now. China’s latest launch of a huge rocket is, once again, raising alarm that the debris will crash into the Earth’s surface in an uncertain location and at great speed. Areas in Asia south of Japan were also possible locales for the space debris. So far, there are no recorded instances of a human being killed by space debris reentering the atmosphere, the The Washington Post reported.
