In just a
few short months, chunks of China’s “Heavenly Palace” will
rain (not quite “reign”) down on Earth. These chunks could total thousands of pounds, and might contain deadly
chemicals such as hydrazine. Yes, this is rocket science, and
it has gone terribly wrong.
And where’s
it supposed to land? Your guess is likely as good as theirs. Even a dime-store GPS can better predict
location. All that China’s saying is
that it will crash down somewhere
“between 43 degrees north and 43 degrees
south.”
But surely
the lucky recipients will have plenty of time to evacuate… All of two weeks, if that. Then they might return to fuel-soaked
terrain. Got a match?
Not since Superman
died…
