Bits of space rocket possibly crashing into your roof this weekend.

Good luck everyone.

[steve98]

Cheap, MADE IN CHINA shit.

[bgmnts]

It was funny when one rocket failed instantly and destroyed that village.

Seriously what is it with China and disastrous attempts at space shit? Worse than Musk.

[BlodwynPig]

"We're hopeful that it will land in a place where it won't harm anyone," US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said. "Hopefully in the ocean, or someplace like that."

If not the ocean, the sea would be the next best place.

[batwings]

Hope it hits a bouncy castle.

[PlanktonSideburns]

Big Chinese rocket segment

[Butchers Blind]

Hope it lands near me. Get it put on ebay pronto.

[steve98]

Hope it hits a bouncy castle.

Hope it hits Xi (Teach him to stop shitting-up Space).

[Icehaven]

If not the ocean, the sea would be the next best place.

Or a really big lake. Or, I dunno, Centre Parks?

[steve98]

Oi Xi, Stop chuckin' that bloody Space-shit... at me.

Is the thread title meant to be a play on The Man Who Ruled the World?

[Icehaven]

Is the thread title meant to be a play on The Man Who Ruled the World?

If you like.

[touchingcloth]

If you like.

That comes as a surprise.

[steve98]

Is the thread title meant to be a play on The Man Who Ruled the World?

It's this.



I would imagine.

[mothman]

That comes as a surprise.

Yeah, I wouldn't have put Icehaven down as a Coldplay fan.

It's this.



I would imagine.

I thought it was this

[idunnosomename]

imagine if it landed on boris johnson

[touchingcloth]

Ruled/potato, sold/potato.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

You're face
To face
With some shit that fell in your back yard

[Pinball]

Bloody amateurs.

[kittens]

sadly it looks like there is very little chance of me getting absolutely flattened beyond all hope by the Big Chinese Rocket Segment

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Hope it lands on Beijing. That'll teach em.

[Pinball]

Well that narrows it down. Don't they have computers? Still, we're safe, so fuck the world.

[Gregory Torso]

I hope it lands on me and destroys me, just like a massive shard of rocket tail fin shears both my arms off while i'm standing in the street getting angry about the queue in Birds the Bakers and everyone else is just like straight trying to tiktok my deflating corpse as it whales blood from the stumps

[touchingcloth]

Well that narrows it down. Don't they have computers? Still, we're safe, so fuck the world.

I think the problem is that the Chinese flung it off without thinking about making sure it landed in a well-defined place, so it's essentially like trying to track a roulette ball now.

I'd like you to be impaled by a bit of antenna or something, like in The Omen.

[Pinball]

That Omen movie was filmed at Guildford Cathedral. It is an exciting place.

But back to where in the world is mystery space debris, isn't predicting the site of Earth impact sort of the point of NORAD/Space Command/whatever the fuck they're called now? Bloody amateurs. Not as amateurish as the Chinese Space Junk Administration, but still. Do your damn job.

[bgmnts]

Yeah space stuff is really stupid and nonsensical. Like, they put a man on the moon but dont have the tech to do it again and they dont have the tapes that show it actually happened.

[Gregory Torso]

I'd like you to be impaled by a bit of antenna or something, like in The Omen.

aw thanks x someone cares!

[WhoMe]

Is this the result of a mistake, or could they not be arsed to figure out how to avoid this happening and launched the fucker anyway?
