Make of this what you will - I think I'd give it a miss. I'd rather go down a cave in a submarine!

Nasa has chosen Elon Musk's company SpaceX to build a lander that will return humans to the Moon this decade.
This vehicle will carry the next man and the first woman down to the lunar surface under the space agency's Artemis programme.

A Chinese rocket weighing a massive 18 tonnes is expected to crash back to Earth tomorrow (Sunday).  Because of the uncertainties about the rate of decay of the orbit the exact point of impact is uncertain.

A useful site here, with a prediction based on latest information:

Some large chunks are going to hit the ground or the sea somewhere.

"This debris - of which there is roughly 9,000 tonnes up there - is a potential collision risk to the operational systems that deliver much-needed services, such as weather forecasting and telecommunications."

Usual human pattern - dump the junk and run. It is someone else's problem.

Solar Flares May 26th? See: Spaceweather.com

https://spaceweather.com/



"SOLAR FLARE FRENZY: Yesterday, the sun produced a sequence of solar flares unlike anything we've seen in years. Earth-orbiting satellites detected a dozen explosions in the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2824. One of them emitted a radio burst so strong, it drowned out static from lightning storms on Earth and was recorded at midnight by listening stations in the Arctic. NOAA forecast models suggest that a CME might hit Earth's magnetic field on May 26th.
