This undated photo provided by NASA shows a recovered chunk of space junk from equipment discarded at the International Space Station.NAPLES, Fla. — A Florida family is suing NASA for damages after a chunk of space junk from the International Space Station tore through their roof,The claim was submitted by attorney Mica Ngyuen Worthy on May 22, according to the release.
That pallet was jettisoned from ISS in 2021 and was expected to eventually burn up on reentry into Earth's atmosphere, but one 1.6-pound chunk of metal survived before it crashed into the home this year, according to AP.“I was shaking. I was completely in disbelief. What are the chances of something landing on my house with such force to cause so much damage,” Otero said. “I’m super grateful that nobody got hurt.
In the release, Worthy stated,"space debris is a real and serious issue because of the increase in space traffic in recent years."WTLV would like to send you push notifications about the latest news and weather.
