Could an 'Out-of-Control' Chinese Rocket be About to Crash into the Earth?

'Could an out-of-control Chinese rocket be about to crash into the Earth?'

A section of a rocket that launched China’s first permanent space station into orbit is expected to plunge back to Earth somewhere in the Pacific Ocean this weekend.

The Long March 5B rocket successfully launched the Tianhe module last week.

But the 30-metre long rocket also reached orbit along with the module.

Footage shot on Wednesday appears to show the rocket preparing for re-entry.

There are fears the rocket could land back on Earth over an inhabited area.

But we’ll only know exactly where the debris will strike a few hours before impact.

Meanwhile, China claims the aluminium-alloy exterior will easily burn up in the atmosphere.

The US Space Command is now tracking the debris from the module.
