Breathe easy, debris from China's largest rocket has burned up in space

According to the U.S. Space Command, the debris from the Chinese rocket does not pose a threat to populated areas of the globe. This is good news for people who have been watching the debris for the past few days and worried that it may cause injury, death or property damage.

The New York Times reported that the Chinese Manned Space Agency claimed that most of the debris burned up on re-entry over the Sulu Sea.
