NASA Accuses China Of Failing To Clean Up Space Junk After Rocket Careens Back To Earth

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson slammed Beijing Saturday as a Chinese rocket crashed back to Earth, landing in the Indian Ocean.

“Spacefaring nations must minimize the risks to people and property on Earth of re-entries of space objects and maximize transparency regarding those operations,” Nelson said in a statement. “It is clear that China is failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris.”
