Popular Post webfact Posted November 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2022 by TNR Staff THAI space agency Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) warned that a 21.6-ton chunk of China’s Long March 5B-Y4 rocket is on track to fall back to Earth on Saturday Nov. 5 with 11 provinces at risk of being hit although the chances of an impact is just 1.4 percent, Sanook.com and Businessinsider.com said. China successfully launched the third and final piece of its new Tiangong space station on Monday — and the rocket’s 21.6-ton body is now coming back down somewhere on Earth, likely on Saturday. The Mengtian module, which carries science experiments, blasted off on China’s Long March 5B-Y4 rocket. As it climbed into space, the rocket’s core stage gave the space-station module one last push into Earth’s orbit before detaching itself.

I own a chinese made Huawei P30 phone . Best I ever had . Waterproof , good camera etc . China can produce good or very good quality , if an importer orders this . But the price to pay is higher , of course . Most importers look to maximize their profits by ordering the cheapest junk . Many times it is the importers greed that is at fault for cheap quality for the consumer . Good quality comes at a price . 8 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lujanit Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I was in Mr. DIY (Seacon store) a couple of weeks ago. All the tools had gone same with the gardening stuff. Replaced with aisle after aisle of plush toys and Xmas stuff. Based on this name change should be in order because all their DIY stuff is gone.

A friend bought a Geely in Saudi Arabia about 8 years ago. Within a month the door panels rattled, there was a wobble on the steering wheel they could not fix, the window rubbers leaked so there was a lot of wind noise, and it had the get up and go of an asthmatic geriatric camel. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kerryd Posted November 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) And if the debris hits any populated areas (anywhere on the planet) China will deny it was their rocket and then try to blame someone else (i.e. the Americans) and threaten anyone who dares suggest that an investigation into China's responsibility be started.
