Chinese rocket fell on residential area

[JSCh]

Today is the one year anniversary of the Chang'e-4 mission to the far side of the moon.
Below is a weibo post from last year about that particular launch event.

嫦娥四号发射前，火箭残骸落区群众纷纷疏散，宣传车来了~

好听好听，当地群众们听了应该觉得挺亲切的。

航天，就在我们身边。有些落区附近的孩子从小到大，一直在躲火箭残骸，他们说都习惯了。

今年5月21日，嫦娥四号中继星发射时，为了发射任务顺利实施，学生们放假了。谢谢他们！ L航天面面观的秒拍视频

Before the launch of Chang'e-4, the masses in the rocket drop zone area were evacuated, and the propaganda vehicle came ~ [haha]

It sounds good, the local people should feel very kind after hearing it. [Hee hee]

Aerospace is all around us. Some children near the drop zone have been hiding from the rocket wreckage since they were small. They said they were used to it.

On May 21 this year, when the Chang'e 4 relay satellite (queqiao) was launched, the students took a holiday in order for smooth implementation of the launch mission. Thank them!​

Its really unfortunate that china doesnt care for it's its own peoples safety

A falling rocket booster just completely flattened a building in China
Despite how easy it is to prevent, China continues to allow launch debris to rain down on rural towns and threaten people’s safety.

Last Saturday, China launched a pair of satellites into orbit from its Xichang Satellite Launch Center. On social media, however, the main event was what happened on Earth: a booster from the launch smashed right into a building in the country’s rural south-central region. No one was injured, but videos and photos of the incident showed wreckage left in the booster’s wake, with toxic rocket fuel evaporating.

It’s the latest incident in China’s long history with falling rocket parts causing destruction below. The most infamous crash occurred in 1996, when the first Long March 3B launch saw the rocket veer off course and crash into a village, killing an unknown number of people (possibly hundreds, by some Western estimates).

“Any time you have stuff going up, there’s a possibility it’s going to come down where you don’t plan for it,” says Victoria Samson at the Secure World Foundation. “So there’s a reason why you don’t fire over populated land.” That’s why most countries launch over water.

So why doesn’t China? “This entire issue is down to geography,” says Thomas Roberts, a former aerospace security fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. All three of China’s main spaceports are located in the mainland, including the Xichang site. They all save money by flying missions east (which requires less fuel to get into space), but that route takes them over vulnerable populations.

severe organ failure or cancer), the wreckage could pollute nearby rivers and streams used for irrigation and drinking water. Launches from the Soviet Union’s old Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, built in 1955, have caused more than 2,500 tons of debris to rain down on the surrounding region, leading to health problems for thousands.

So the issue isn’t new, but the space industry is expanding rapidly. “The more launches you have, the more chances you have for something to go wrong,” says Samson.

Luckily, the solutions aren’t complicated—they just require political will. China can launch over the water if it wants, through its spaceport on the island of Hainan in the South China Sea. Operational since 2014, it’s been seldom used because of launch failures and a less developed infrastructure. But these issues are fixable with enough investment.

China could also just change its flight paths. For example, Israel’s Palmachim Airbase can’t launch to the east because of obvious geopolitical conflicts. So it sends rockets over the Mediterranean Sea and through the Strait of Gibraltar. This requires putting a satellite in a retrograde orbit—one that moves in the opposite direction of Earth’s rotation. This requires much more fuel, but it entirely avoids populated areas.

And some emerging technologies might enable rockets to fly over populated areas more safely. Grid fins (lattice structures that can slightly modify control and speed) and parafoil features (aluminum foils that work like kites or parachutes), like those SpaceX uses, could help steer falling rocket boosters to vacant lands. Roberts thinks AI could one day be used to better assess downrange risks to communities before launch. One proposal led by SpaceX calls for building a flight corridor heading south that would fly rockets over populated areas as long as they can demonstrate a perfectly functional automated abort feature.

There’s one very cheap tool that could increase pressure on China and other groups to take steps to mitigate launch debris hazards: social media. Weibo and Twitter helped make images and videos of the latest crash go viral––a massive boon to the poor, rural victims, who are rarely seen or heard.

No and we do not kill them. We kill only those who picks up gun. We do not have have the history to abduct citizens and kill them in remote places like many other countries. Even, we give terrorist full chance to return back to their family and live a normal life. Many misguided Kashmiri youth have came back pouring cold water on the ambitions of their masters who wants to send them enjoy to 72 hoors in sky while enjoying same here.

And you have the illegal occupation IOK according to UN, and don't insult our religion if you wont stop, then i have lot for your religion, and you have no solid proofs that we are involved in terrorists actives in IOK, you are just doing false propaganda against Pakistan internationally,

So you want to kill billions of peoples in subcontinent by nukes, and it ain't that easy than you thinks, why you don't to take our Part of Kashmir, Those Kargil and balakot were just small skirmish, not a full fledge war you indiot
