Investigators find ANOTHER piece of SpaceX rocket in Poland
after Elon Musk's Falcon 9 rocket broke up on 'uncontrolled
re-entry' into atmosphere
Another piece of SpaceX rocket debris has reportedly been
found in a Polish woodlands area, just days after the
rocket's tank landed in a local garden.
Police and fire services were called out to the Western
province of Wielkopolskie after reports of an unidentified
object in a forest area.
After an investigation and subsequent removal of the
object, a spokesperson for the local fire service said
it was likely to be the debris from one of Elon Musk's
rockets.
It is suspected to be the fourth piece of debris found in
the area in recent days.
The Falcon 9 rocket launched from Vandenberg Air Force
Base in California earlier this month, with the aim of
putting Starlink satellites into a low-level orbit.
Nearly three weeks after the launch, chunks of the rocket
began falling back into Earth's atmosphere - almost
directly in the centre of Poland.
. . .
SpaceX is usually very very good - BUT, well, Shit Happens.
Rockets are STILL kinda 'bleeding-edge tech' even after
all this time.
Fortunately, Poland is maybe the most pro-MAGA country
in the EU. Everything will be worked out fine.
They DO owe the lady a garden renovation. Maybe
some kind of little commemorative plaque/monument
to remember the unusual event. It'll improve the
property resale value considerably.
Note that China doesn't care WHO it drops huge
space debris on.
