Ironic considering China is the worst space polluter by a large margin
I’ve never thought we’d get to a point where we trash our orbit, but here we are. Debris flying at huge speeds, smashing into things we’ve worked so hard to create.
The problem with delaying a Chinese space ship is that an hour later you feel like delaying a Chinese space ship again.
We need some solar powered automous bots to collect rubbish in space perhaps.
How unfortunate, I wonder who’s to blame for that debris being there?
Chinas biggest weakness seems to be thinking they can get away with taking irresponsible shortcuts to get ahead, and always having them come back to bite them in the ass, slowing them down later, and this could not be a more literal representation of that.
Tbh China is responsible for a lot of the trash up there by destroying satellites. Serves them right
Very happy they’re safe and I really hope they have a safe return. That’s terrifying.
Didn’t the Chinese blow up a satellite in orbit to test their anti-satellite rocket? I wonder where all that debris went.
