    That reminds me, I have had several liberals and apparent 'anarchists' tell me how bad the PRC is, in comparison to the empire which is guilty of killing millions of people, because the PRC had a lethal space rocket malfunction 30 years ago and because... space rocket boosters keep falling near villages.

    'Nooo, they shouldn't be allowed to get ahead of the US in space projects! They are evil savages who are not capable of technological advancement'
    -Some supposed 'anarchist'.

    Also,
    'But states should share scientific advancements! It wouldn't be good to exclude NATO states from scientific projects! That's why I think that no alternative to the 'international' NATO space station where only representatives of NATO states and their puppets are allowed and which states like the PRC are banned from working with should exist!'
    -Same person.

        The explanation was "We're very sorry that was in our aerial explosions reference pack and not on purpose" which got me thinking why the challenger is such a big deal then, I'd wager most aerial explosions are sort of bad for at least some people on account of explosions are bad but worse if you're in the sky
