I look forward to seeing how a certain poster is going to spin this into it somehow being Australia's fault.

Why did Australia not offer to receive this rocket? It's a vastly under-populated country and there are huge swathes of the interior where the rocket could safely land without any problem at all. If we want to trade with China, we need to show more humility and be willing to compromise on massive rockets landing in our backyard from outer space. It suits the Libs for political purposes to make a fuss about this rocket when we all know the real issue is the disgracefully insular and xenophobic Australian attitude towards Chinese-manufactured space technology.

etc etc

"It shows there are 2,033 rocket bodies in Earth orbit … at least those that we have orbital data for, as there may be more classified ones. Of course, every one of them is uncontrolled. Of the 2,033, 546 belong to the U.S. and only 169 belong to China.
But the U.S. isn't even the worst offender in terms of orbiting booster debris. That would be Russia, with 1,035 rocket bodies.

Just for 2020 launches, there are still 32 rocket bodies in orbit. Fifteen of those are Chinese. Ten were lofted by the U.S., five of them on classified missions

China's Long March 5 booster doesn't include such a mechanism, now accepted as standard practise by other nations.

Why is that? It's either that they don't give a shit or... they're just not smart enough to design it. Maybe Taiwan could manage the tech difficulties for them.
I'll go with this option. Classic China.

:lol: Not smart enough....then throws in the republic of china to veil his racism.

Maybe they need more white men, maybe the Aussies could take a break from wingeing about trade losses to manage chinas space programme, even better, sheep farmers from the South Island.

They can show them the basics with their dilusional Anglo perspective of the world.

Weren’t you the same clown what was a fighter jet expert too and started shiteing on a rugby forum about how their 5th generation fighters were shit and can’t be stealth.

With Brains like we have in the Southern Hemisphere floating around , so much that even rugby forums have posters so much smarter then them Teams Chinese scientists , then we have no worries at all.

Sure you lads have the Brains to make the tech to not only crush China, but you’ll have COVID, cancer, and living on mars sorted before they blink.

You guys are super smart, you’ve been playing rope a dope With your 1950s infrastructure for years, keeping your powder dry. You are really ready to go all Star Trek any second now.
