I feel like you should have to pass a test or something, or like if you have "wiped entire village off the map" in your space program's record, you don't get to do more space for a while. I think the goal was actually to not keep it there.

You're right the UN should ban China from using space. What's that China you veto the vote? Oh ok China but please don't do it again.

You'll find that demonstrating you can successfully cobble poo poo together and throw it into space confers you a wide degree of latitude on many things, once it's been successfully achieved. Especially if you can also split atoms.

I mean, America can't really judge China for their rockets going boom given we've blown them up with multiple people inside several times now. I think space ex exploded one recently too E: oh and there was that several billion dollar metric/imperial conversion error too. That one was hilarious

So there’s a rocket. Big deal. I figure it’ll burn up in the atmosphere and whatever’s left will be no bigger than a chihuahua’s head.

Fluffy Bunnies posted:18,000 miles per hour sounds so fast no, it won't be going that fast by the time it lands. most of it will break up / burn up during reentry, and the little pieces left won't hit very hard because they'll be like chunks of sheet metal dropped from the sky. a piece of sheet metal doesn't fall all that hard, like a direct hit on a person would injure or kill. but if you're in your house it'd just gently caress up your roof a bit. the engines survive all the way to the ground, they are heavier and more solid and hit way harder. if you happen to be under them, you get squished. but even then, it's way less destructive than a bomb.
