This is basically similar problem as our air defense site here in Indonesia. We built our NASAMS site in the middle of populated area, back then it was occupied by old S-75/SA-2 Guideline. The location was still sparsely populated so the dropped off 1st stage of the SAM is expected not to fall into any population center. But now it's essentially a city.

one of the major reason is china lack of oversea "space and earth control station" for the most of last century. in order to maximize the window to control its satellite, it is only possible to extend the time which satellites are within range of control after launch. By considering the shape of its country and the orbit of the earth. It would be only like to build mid west or south west of china, which is rather heavily populated compare to most part in US (not so much comparing to south east part of China). However, as the rocket parts are more controllable and new satellite sites and oversea "space and earth control stations" has been build, such accident havent took place for at least 15 years if i recalled correctly.

Video: Why do Chinese rocket boosters keep hitting villages? China: *What rocket boosters?*

[@bngdu8975]

I'm Chinese.US don't allow China use any outsea observation station.So this is no choice.But now we already established a lot of observation boats and satellites.So we can rent station now,ban already useless.And no smash.Now may you feel my anger! For Chinese villigers for good!!! The ending sentence shudn't from American, wish you are not!

How can France and Germany have a space budget when there’s a eu space budget?

[@bruhboi4692]

They have their own space program

[@Readyplayer11]

You forgot to mention that launching from a higher up area also gives a large boost in efficiency and launching from higher up also just gives you less distance to go to space. The reason that most space ports are on the coast is because they want to be able to barge the booster instead of shipping by land where there are space constraints. Sure nasa doesn't want to hit anyone but they are able to terminate the launch anyway so its not that bad launching from the interior.

xichang is only 1000m above sea level.

[@Readyplayer11]

@@aerojetrocketdyners-2538 even though it's not as large of a difference as the other 2 launch sites 1000m can lead to more than 1000m in the long run.

[@aerojetrocketdyners-2538]

@@Readyplayer11 nah, in terms of actual delta V it doesn't really matter maybe 20-30m/s but not much compared to the delta V of a booster

[@Readyplayer11]

@@aerojetrocketdyners-2538 if you search up scott manley launching from mountian you will see that it is a large difference.

[@aerojetrocketdyners-2538]

Michael Mosseri the actual reason for choosing xichang could be that but it is because xichang is nornally cloudy,tucked deep in the mountains, which makes it hard for western optical spy sats from getting information.

[@teamscarletdevil6915]

is that one of the reasons china wants to include taiwan desperately? you see a launch site in taiwan is kind of perfect for them.

[@KikogamerJ2]

True it would be much easier to launch rockets widhoout civilian causalities but the main reason China wants Taiwan is for defence since they fear America could easily invade China by taiwan

[@martenkahr3365]

That's rather low on the list of their reasons. The biggest one is that Taiwan is ruled by the non-communist government that lost the Chinese civil war and is a bit of a thorn in the side of the Chinese Communist Party's legitimacy. The second biggest is that Taiwan is closely allied with the US (not like Taiwan has any other options, besides surrendering to China and getting annexed), and could plausibly serve as a staging ground for an invasion of mainland China.

Actually a good video that describes space physics and how rockets work really quick and easily Great video!

[@route2070]

The US spends more on the Space program, and is closer to the equator for a faster launch. Yet, we Send our astronauts to launch in Russia for over a decade.

[@rzpogi]

and have to wait for decade for a US company to develop a rocket that could launch people into space. ah capitalism.

[@nunya___]

@@rzpogi 1. The US was migrating from Governmental to Commercial launch providers. 2. The safety standards were rewritten to require much more testing and proofing to pass certification.

[@deathpony698]

The SLS that's still in development was supposed to be ready when the Space shuttle was retired

[@nunya___]

@@deathpony698 Nope. The Shuttle was retired - 2011. SLS was first funded - 2011. First hardware contract (30 months to develop the engine injectors) was granted 2013.

dont worry for not releasing video in the past months. You owe us nothing but give us amazing content so thumbs up !

[@inko_lor]

It happened again today

Piece of rocket metal from china's rocket found on us philippines,but good no one hurts they say it landed on ocean.

[@lc9245]

Everybody keep repeating the Japan and Taiwan thing when he clearly explained that the sites were build in 1950s and things weren’t as clear back then. He even mentioned that China build a site in Hainan and now that they have taken over all of the South China Sea competitors, they will cease to have this problem in the near future. The video provided ample informations.

India's space program is most efficient and cheapest.

Vandenberg AFB is often used for launch to polar orbit.

Wow didn't expect this china "roast". Lmao.

[@RubricalChain25]

Welcome to a Chinese village! Have you ever wanted to watch a rocket launch? Well periodically, you might have one drop by, *literally*, in the village!

[@richardhill9549]

They are pretty careless. My Dad helped them construct the 5b rocket. He told me that while he was holding a nail for his collegue to hammer into the rocket, he missed and hit my dad's thumb really hard.

[@kosmique]

well if the chinese are using nails in their rockets no wonder they keep on crashing...

[@redpower6956]

Amazing video as usual! Please keep doing these amazing videos.

[@mtssman]

The real question here is --- Why Chinese villages keep getting in the way of CCP's rocket boosters?

[@aliwakanda7327]

Because they just happen to be there?

[@AmyEHawthorne]

Thanks for this! And don't sweat the disruptions, everyone's doing their best right now with all kinds of circumstances
