Reacción a "Reactions to the fall of a large Chinese rocket fragment to Earth have closed part of the airspace"

Every day, space debris falls to Earth, but the small fragments disintegrate in the atmosphere and the large ones usually drift in a controlled manner over the Pacific Ocean, where the risk is very low. It is irresponsible of the Chinese space programme to let the main stage of its 20-tonne CZ-5B Long March rocket fall in an uncontrolled manner. This is the fourth launch of this rocket, which is being used to launch the modules of the new Chinese Space Station. The first launch, in 2020, ended with some pieces of the rocket impacting in the Ivory Coast.  

This morning we woke up to the prediction that, after this fourth launch, the main stage could fall on some Mediterranean countries, including northern Spain. Although the probability of the debris hitting an aircraft is low, it seems reasonable to restrict air traffic as has been done, since such an impact on an aircraft would probably be fatal for all its passengers, and would foreseeably open up an unprecedented international conflict. According to the US military space force, re-entry has finally occurred over the Pacific Ocean.  

Space activities have a lot to do with what happens on Earth, which is why collective reflection and the development of a Space Ethics leading to a well-founded Space Law is necessary. In this reflection, we should not only see the "mote in the eye of the beholder", nor let ourselves be guided by the propaganda of great powers and companies. China is doing some things irresponsibly, the United States, and companies like SpaceX, too.  

Space activities belong to all of humanity and, if we want to avoid disaster, we need a multilateralism that has been conspicuous by its absence lately. The severe climate, energy and ecological crisis is the ultimate example of how this lack of multilateralism is turning into "collective suicide". In a few days a new climate summit will start in Egypt. Let's be clear: while world leaders do nothing, time is running out.
