Most of it will burn up during re-entry. Since 71% of the earth is covered in water it's likely that it will end up in the ocean. US scientists at NASA are monitoring the situation very closely. If there appears to be a danger to humans, they have ways to minimize the damage.

. The latest> China says falling rocket debris will mostly burn up on reentry, posing little threat to people on the ground May 7, 2021 Doyle Rice USA TODAY The Chinese rocket that's reportedly falling uncontrollably to Earth will mostly burn up on reentry, posing little threat to people and property on the ground, the Chinese government reassured the world on Friday. Speaking in Beijing, foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said China was closely following the rocket's reentry into the atmosphere, Reuters reported. "The probability of this process causing harm on the ground is extremely low," he said. China is paying "great attention to the re-entry of the upper stage of the rocket into the atmosphere," he added. The section of the rocket, which was launched on April 29 from China, is expected to crash back to Earth sometime Saturday. It could strike an inhabited area, experts warn. . . . Well, THAT'S comforting. BTW - factually and scientifically, The Chinese built this rocket to perform exactly as it will. Other countries almost always design their rockets to burn on rentry, or control to an ocean hit. This tech costs more and takes more time. Personally I do not trust some countries AT ALL - China is the top of the list. . . |

Don't worry. According to my calculations, there is a 99.99% chance that it will impact safely in the Polo field. But to be on the safe side, do not use Buena Vista until after it touches down. :pepper2:

Reports say that the rocket entered near Maldives and likely crashed into the Indian Ocean.
