Nowadays, it is not enough just to pay attention to fraudulent messages or food safety. Now we also need to pay attention to rocket parts falling from space. Finally, the large metal parts of SpaceX that fell from the sky in Poland and Ukraine stunned people. Here are the details…
SpaceX debris fell in Poland!
The cause of this incident was the wreckage of the Falcon 9 rocket launched by Elon Musk’s company SpaceX. Normally, rocket parts burn up as they enter the atmosphere. However, this time things did not go quite as planned. Among the pieces that fell to the ground in Poland was a burnt tank about 1 metre long. Luckily, there were no injuries or loss of life.

The incident was not limited to Poland and Ukraine. Traces of this fall were also seen in the sky from England and Denmark. Dr Jonathan McDowell from Harvard University stated that large pieces of debris are becoming more and more frequent and this poses a serious threat. McDowell said, ‘We are lucky that there has not been a major disaster yet. But at this rate, one day our luck will run out.’
SpaceX’s track record in such incidents is not very clean. In recent months, similar incidents have occurred in the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean and Kenya. In fact, the piece that fell in Kenya weighed exactly 450 kilograms. SpaceX has not yet made a statement about the incident in Poland.
With the development of space technology, it seems inevitable that such incidents will increase.
