No, a Chinese Rocket is Probably Not Going to Fall On Your Head

Yes, China needs to do something about massive 5B boosters falling back to Earth in an uncontrolled manner.

No, it's unlikely it will land on your head.

There is a fairly high chance, though, that it will land somewhere in the U.S. The debris will reenter the atmosphere on...well, some time on Saturday, or maybe Sunday. That's the real issue. We don't know.

It could also land in Africa, India, Brazil...

But the risk of it landing on your head is far, far lower than the risk of being struck by lightning. Please ignore the Daily Mail.

(Actually, always ignore the Daily Mail. Except to mock them).
