Watch: Chinese Rocket Booster Nearly Destroys House <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A dramatic video shared on social media platform X captures the moment a booster from a Chinese Long March 3B carrier rocket plummets from the sky, crashes into a hillside forest and explodes feet away from a house.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Chinese state-run media outlet\u00a0Global Times<\/a>\u00a0reported the Long March-3B rocket with a Yuanzheng-1 upper delivered two Beidou satellites into medium Earth orbit on Tuesday morning from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the country’s Southwest Sichuan Province.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The launch was deemed a success, with the 57th and the 58th Beidou satellites added to the BeiDou Satellite Navigation System, China’s mega constellation of satellites.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, video footage of the rocket’s booster falling from the sky and crashing into a hillside emerged hours after the launch on Chinese social media, then shared with X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s raining men..ah..boosters.<\/p>\n

Another video shows the crash site, with very toxic hypergolic propellant rising from the ashes. The booster landed just feet from a house.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Given China’s ability to copy technology, one might wonder why they haven’t yet deployed a self-landing booster similar to SpaceX’s technology developed by Elon Musk.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
