This Space Junk Hit Someone's Home

This piece of space junk just flew into somebody’s home in Florida... and it came from the International Space Station! This is INCREDIBLY rare and unlikely. But the accumulation of junk orbiting the planet is a real problem.
Not because it is likely to fall down, but because it could hit important satellites and harm space travel. Here's how people are trying to fix it...

Yes Cleo, please make a deep dive video about how people are working on solving this problem. Really enjoying your videos. Hope you can keep it up.

When you realise Earth's low orbit was clean before Sputnik!😢

Explaining this to the insurance will be a fun time

[suongoh]

we gon have space debris insurance in the next 50 years LETS

[nightcrawlerninja]

We have trashed places that we can't even reach to clean up our mess if we wanted to, we are a ridiculously unsustainable species on so many levels!

[teryl]

Yes, please include more space junk information in your videos.

Really enjoying your channel! These types of videos with space flight information could theoretically help get people more excited about space travel than they have been in decades!

There has been quite a bit of space junk falling into peoples yards around SK and surrounding areas. Someone I knows son had a couple pieces fall in him farmyard. You can get a pretty penny for turning them in to the government

I'm really glad to hear that we're coming together to do something about the space junk floating around in orbit. I thought we were just going to end up having rings.

I can only imagine the phone conversation to his homeowner insurance… “I swear! It can from outer space!…No, I have not been drinking”

[aaronlillard]

Some guy on the ISS was like hey bro how much u wanna bet I can't hit that house

[DATBOI_KINGKAl]

We don’t want space to be cluttered is a sentence I never thought I’d hear

[dreamdragon]

That make NASA liable for all the damages that happened next

[donfuller]

It's a serious problem, I'd be interested to know more about projects aimed at clearing spa e junk. Thanks Cleo!

[rufescens]

Yes, I want to hear more about how scientists are approaching the problem of space junk!

Oh crap we just made the quarantine enforcement gun from Subnautica
