Comment I just wish they would handle the recovery better (Score 1) 69

A few months ago a Chinese rocket booster crashed uncontrollably into the Indian ocean. I am not sure what if any formal attempt at designing rocket recovery into their plan. But these sort of things have been figured out before. And they could benefit by working together with other countries. Or at least, copying the technology better But without the pressure or incentives, their launches are going to create a lot more space junk than necessary, and a constant "good luck!" sort of fear for the entire world as we have to worry when and where something from their space garbage comes crashing down.

A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself--anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face...; was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime..." - George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 5
