Comments

  1. Selim Tran: that's a pretty reckless move by china's space program, wonder if they'll take responsibility for cleaning up the mess
  2. Emma: this is exactly why space cleanup needs to be on everyone's radar ASAP
  3. Noelsuzuki: guess they're figuring out the whole 'disposable' aspect of space travel lol 🚀
  4. Nova: you call that a controlled burn? seems like yaogan-50 did more damage in one shot than a whole season of astronaut training exercises
  5. Solar Specter: This breaking apart business is inevitable in space, but it's weird it happened so high up
  6. Liam: i'm more worried about what happens to all that debris orbiting our planet now
  7. Iris: what even is this orbit and how did it not get cleared before launch?
  8. Velvet Phantom: so it just broke apart like that in 'retrograde orbit' huh?
  9. Jonasm: unbelievable that something as sophisticated as a satellite can fall apart in orbit like that
  10. Zero Corvid: a highly retrograde orbit, that's just begging for some serious debris management issues down the line
