Here are some technical points one should know before commenting: 1. Satellites never fall on earth. 2. Satellites don't carry liquid or gas fuels, only rockets do. 3. There is no oxygen in outer space and combustion can't happen. I saw the video and there is a huge fire bowl. 4. Vehicles to carry school bus size satellites were never made. That too if the satellite is too old then there is no way a school bus size satellite ever existed. 5. Satellites don't use toxic chemicals, but they have lot of gold (excellent physical properties)

Little knowledge is dangerous. Your physics is of grade 8 level and you do not read news.
1. Satellite can fall on the earth depending upon their mass and orbit decay. Remember skylab?
2. It is a question of definition. Any body an carry whatever it wants - it depends upon the need. If the satellite needed power for maneuvering, it could have had fuel. in fact a lot of satelites have positioning rockets for final alignment - although the fuel is few kgs.
3. Hahaha, if combustion does not happen in outer space, how did rover reach Mars? Rockets carry oxidizing agents (in case of solid fuel) or liquid hydrogen to make combustion possible. Next you will say combustion is not possible below sea level as there is no available oxygen. 4. Satellite in question was launched less than a year ago. Satellites weighing 2000 kgs are routinely launched in space. Tat is approximate weight of a school bus. 5. Again, toxic chemical here in question is fuel. However, your pointv about gold is correct.

Sorry for stopping China bashing...of course, you should be sad you illiterate moron!

What nonsense! You are trying to pass junk as fact on combustion in outer space. Do some research before posting whatever comes to your mind, man! Also, try to live a life instead of seeing conspiracy in everything.
