Space material found on a beach in Western Australia

That is absolutely the PS3 stage of an Indian Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. It is a very unique upper stage in that that 'tank' is actually a Kevlar wrap over a solid Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellant. The part that is broken on the bottom is where the nozzle sat; they use a 'submerged' nozzle where much of the nozzle core is actually up inside that.

So, it is not a vessel for a liquid propellant like many people would think.

This page has a few photos and a cool cross section of the type of construction, under 'PS-3':

Imagine the headlines if this was Chinese or North Korean. Indian though.

Well North Korea doesn’t have a space program, and debris from chinas rockets have been found before as well. Ditto for US, EU, …

So what is your point?

Eh, yes they do? They have 2-3 satellites they launched themselves way back in 2015 or so.

My point was that a Chinese weather balloon caused diplomatic reactions still not rolled back today and a military operation to shoot it down, and when China launches a rocket it is alway doom and gloom about its path and the debris. You know very well how MSM scream when something is Chinese.

Ìt's the steam boiler of an aetheric void ship. Clearly so.
