Chinese Rocket Falls Back to Earth and Explodes
Gongyi City citizens saw a rocket, The Tianlong-3 from the Chinese Space Pioneer company, was emitting black smoke during flight and then fell to earth and caught fire. The city's emergency management bureau responded telling that it was a rocket engine test flight, and staff had gone to the scene to deal with it. No casualties have been reported so far.

Re: Chinese Rocket Falls Back to Earth and Explodes
It wasn't supposed to be any sort of flight. It was intended to be a static test fire, but the hold-down bolts failed to provide an "equal and opposite" force.

Re: Chinese Rocket Falls Back to Earth and Explodes
Not surprising considering China is devoid of the concept of material specs. |

Re: Chinese Rocket Falls Back to Earth and Explodes
The Chinese have not yet mastered the "Downfall Whistle" used in the "Roadrunner" cartoons, where the coyote is headed to the bottom of the canyon, accompanied by the "Downfall Whistle" They also have not mastered the art of following the subject with the camera, as noted by "Hogman".  |
