Hold onto your seats, space fans—NASA just confirmed that a piece of the International Space Station (ISS) literally crashed into a Florida home last month! The out-of-this-world incident, which sounds straight out of a sci-fi movie, left a metallic object tearing through Alejandro Otero’s roof in Naples. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but it came dangerously close to his son.
The debris, identified as a 1.6-pound Inconel alloy stanchion, was part of a battery pallet jettisoned from the ISS in 2021. Experts predicted its fiery atmospheric reentry, but somehow, this chunk survived. NASA’s now investigating how it dodged total destruction—and updating safety protocols to protect Earthlings from future ‘space surprises.’
Who’s liable? The pallet was launched by Japan’s space agency, complicating potential claims. This isn’t the first time space trash landed unexpectedly: A SpaceX capsule fragment hit an Aussie farm in 2022, and 1979’s Skylab debris rained down on Western Australia.
Moral of the story? Even in space, what goes up must come down—sometimes in your living room.
