美国宇航局收集了坠落到佛罗里达男子家中的"太空碎片"

NASA is currently investigating an object that crashed into a Florida man's home, believed to be space debris from the International Space Station. The incident occurred on March 8 when the object tore through the roof and two floors of Alejandro Otero's house. Otero suspects it may be a piece of a cargo pallet containing old batteries released by NASA ground control teams in 2021. Experts have verified the timeline of the event, and NASA has confirmed that they collected the object for analysis at the Kennedy Space Center. They will determine its origin and provide further details after completing the analysis.

This case is not the first instance of manmade space debris hitting Earth, with previous examples including part of a SpaceX Dragon capsule landing on an Australian sheep farm and the fall of Skylab, the United States' first space station, in Western Australia. Additionally, China has faced criticism from NASA for allowing its giant Long March rockets to re-enter Earth's orbit. This recent incident highlights the ongoing issue of space debris and the potential risks it poses to terrestrial environments.
