A 21-tonne rocket falling to Earth poses a “very low” risk to Australians – but it’s impossible to say where it will land.

The Long March rocket was launched into space by China carrying the initial module for the nation’s first permanent space station.

This was successfully detached, with the rocket entering a decaying orbit that will see it plunge back to Earth in the coming days.

A spokesperson from the Department of Home Affairs told nine.com.au the government was monitoring the situation.

“It is too early to know the exact timing and location of the re-entry but the risk to populated areas in Australia is very low,” the spokesperson said.

“Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available regarding the trajectory and re-entry of the space object.”

Much of the rocket is expected to burn up on re-entry.

Although China has been criticised for the apparent disregard of the rocket’s destination, it is unlikely to be held accountable even in the highly unlikely event there is any damage to people or property.

As long as the launch was carried out within the auspices of Chinese law, it is considered legitimate – there is no international legal framework for rocket launches except for the expectation the operation is monitored and authorised by domestic authorities.

On the other hand, according to the 1972 Liability Convention, the launching nation is liable for any damage caused by a space object hitting the Earth’s surface.

But on the two applicable occasions this has happened in the past, no action has been taken, and it’s unlikely any government would seek to recoup damage costs from Beijing.

In 1979, a piece of NASA’s Skylab fell to Earth near the town of Esperance in Western Australia. The government took no action, but the town issued a fine for littering.

Space lawyer and Australian National University lecturer Dr Cassandra Steer told ANU the future of space would likely depend on diplomacy than on treaties or law.

“It’s clear to everyone that the safety, security and sustainability of space activities are becoming more and more urgent, but political processes get in the way of forming new law,” she said.

“We, therefore, have to rely on the power of naming and shaming those who act irresponsibly. This might not seem much, but in today’s geopolitical reality, it can be very effective.”

  1. Hi!
    1covidnews.com, It’s clear you put real effort into your site—thank you.

    I recently published my ebooks and training videos on
    https://www.hotelreceptionisttraining.com/

    They feel like a hidden gem for anyone interested in hospitality management studies. These ebooks and videos have already been welcomed and found very useful by students in Russia, the USA, France, the UK, Australia, Spain, and Vietnam—helping learners and professionals strengthen their real hotel reception skills. I believe visitors and readers here might also find them practical and inspiring.
    Unlike many resources that stay only on theory, this ebook and training video set is closely connected to today’s hotel business. It comes with full step-by-step training videos that guide learners through real front desk guest service situations—showing exactly how to welcome, assist, and serve hotel guests in a professional way. That’s what makes these materials special: they combine academic knowledge with real practice.

    With respect to the owners of 1covidnews.com who keep this platform alive, I kindly ask to share this small contribution. For readers and visitors, these skills and interview tips can truly help anyone interested in becoming a hotel receptionist prepare with confidence and secure a good job at hotels and resorts worldwide. If found suitable, I’d be grateful for it to remain here so it can reach those who need it.

    Why These Ebooks and Training Videos Are Special
    They uniquely combine academic pathways such as a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management or a advanced hotel management course with very practical guidance on the front desk agent description. They also cover the hotel front desk receptionist job description, and detailed hotel front desk tasks.

    The materials go further by explaining the hotel reservation process, check-in and check-out procedures, guest relations, and dealing with guest complaints—covering nearly every situation that arises in the daily business of hotel reception.

    Beyond theory, my ebooks and training videos connect the academic side of hospitality management studies with the real-life practice of hotel front desk duties and responsibilities.

    – For students and readers: they bridge classroom study with career preparation, showing how hotel and management course theory link directly to front desk skills.
    – For professionals and community visitors: they support career growth through questions for reception interview, with step-by-step interview questions for receptionist with answers. There’s also guidance on writing a strong receptionist description for resume.

    As someone who has taught hotel and management courses for nearly 30 years, I rarely see materials that balance the academic foundation with the day-to-day hotel front desk job responsibilities so effectively. This training not only teaches but also simulates real hotel reception challenges—making it as close to on-the-job learning as possible, while still providing structured guidance.

    I hope the owners of 1covidnews.com, and the readers/visitors of 1covidnews.com, will support my ebooks and training videos so more people can access the information and gain the essential skills needed to become a professional hotel receptionist in any hotel or resort worldwide.

    Appreciate you and your community.
