China's top scientists launched a 10-story tall rocket, but it accidentally went into unstable orbit instead of making its planned descent into the ocean. On May 10th, 21 tons of hot metal will come crashing down somewhere on planet Earth south of New York, and north of New Zealand (i.e. where almost everyone lives). It'll create a 100-mile wide debris zone which would be pretty hosed up if it landed in a city! https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/may/04/out-of-control-chinese-rocket-tumbling-to-earth quote:Part of a huge rocket that launched China’s first module for its Tianhe space station is falling back to Earth and could make an uncontrolled re-entry at an unknown landing point. I agree with Harvard Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell that this is "potentially not good". But I think it could also be good, like if it landed on Mar A Lago maybe. Where do you all think it will land? I secretly hope it hits me and will be spending May 10th hanging out in the front yard. smoobles fucked around with this message at 17:59 on May 4, 2021 |

Pshh the asteroid that caused the K-Pg extinction event 66 million years ago was like 10 miles wide. This is just a wimpy rocket that could barely destroy an entire major city. Not that worried tbh

In 2012, reportedly in response to reduced demand following the Bernie Madoff scandal which affected many affluent Palm Beach residents, the fee was lowered to $100,000.[70] The fee returned to $200,000 in January 2017 after Trump was elected president,[70] with $14,000 annual dues.[71] Overnight guests paid up to $2,000 a night.[19]
