Chinese #rocket sheds tiles during launch
@stux errrrrrrrrrrrr....
ISN'T THAT FREACKING DANGEROUS?!
this might cause some problems...?
@stux That is actually ice. Due to the oxygen and fuel being super-cooled to keep it super compressed moisture from the air on the outside of the ship freezes before launch. So the vibrations of the craft cause it to fall off.
Sorry for the long response I'm just I nerd.
