An out-of-control 21-ton Chinese rocket is falling to earth and could land on populated areas, experts warn. China’s Long March 5b rocket that launched Thursday is predicted to crash back to Earth within the next few days.
Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer who tracks objects orbiting Earth, told SpaceNews that it’s path takes it ‘a little farther north than New York, Madrid and Beijing and as far south as southern Chile and Wellington, New Zealand’.
Satellite trackers have detected the 100-foot-long rocket travelling at more than four miles per second
