And there were some local miners and they found the wreckage of a smoking piece of a secret Chinese rocket in Western Australia. And the local police, they were able to identify the object as a potential piece of space junk. They weren't able to identify precisely what it was at that period of time. But the object is believed to be part of the upper stage of one of China's rockets. And this has been backed up by other experts, including those at the Harvard and Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, who have been tracking space debris for more than 35 years. And as I said, it's not clear which part of this 102-foot 31-metre rocket is a piece from, due to the extensive damage and more so the secrecy around China's extensive space program. Thank you.
