    Out of control 21-TON Chinese rocket is falling to Earth and nobody knows where it could land: Fears it could shower debris over New York, Madrid and Beijing
    • China launched its Long March 5b rocket could have an uncontrolled reentry
    • The rocket launched last week to deliver the first modular of a space station
    • Officials found the core stage is moving slowly and uncontrolled toward Earth
    • Long March 5b was initially set to land in a pre-designed spot in the ocean
    • However, experts warn large chunks could fall on inhabited areas

    I was really pulling for it to hit Beijing.
    Oh well, there's sure to be a next time.
