Acceleration Unit of an X-ray Telescope Falls Down to Earth
An acceleration unit of an X-ray telescope was launched into orbit but a certain miscalculation caused it to fall on/near a Chinese village..

Re: Acceleration Unit of an X-ray Telescope Falls Down to Earth
Someone missed a decimal point. I deduce from the smoke trail that the Chinese are using "Fuming Red Nitric Acid" as a propellant fuel.  |

RFNA means they be taking it to the sky old school. Stuff makes great smoke bombs too, just don't inhale the smoke  |

Re: Acceleration Unit of an X-ray Telescope Falls Down to Earth
Yeah, late 1960's tech. Although maybe it's a cheap chemical for them. Not every space effort gets the big bucks to spend. Launch people everywhere have to work with what the government pays for them to use.  I bet the engineers on THAT program were gnashing their teeth when they were told to use that stuff. |

I bet when they watch Spacex on the tube, they come in their astronaut jumpsuits. |

Pftt. Not like it's rocket science or anything! After it failed to make orbit I bet the launch controllers went ballistic. |

All the guys at Mission Control probably got sucked into weaving machines or run over by fork lifts.
