The three -meter fragment of Ilona Mask rocket fell on the field of Australian farmer

He called the police, they contacted the space expert of the Australian National University Brad Takhr, who reported that it was space debris, and, more precisely, part of the SpaceX CREW-1 spacecraft capsule. He has been in orbit since November 2020. During the fall, he had to burn in the atmosphere above the ocean, but one three -meter fragment was not up and flew to the Mika Michers field in the Snow Mountains in New South Wales.

"This is the indisputable space debris that was part of SpaceX Crew-1 ship. SpaceX has a capsule that delivers people into space but has a lower part that flies and becomes space debris," Ben Taer said Ben Fordham Live on Monday morning . "According to the plan, the fragment had to burn in the atmosphere, and the fragments that did not burn, had to get into the ocean, but it did not work," the expert summed up.

It is known that many people in the south of the new South Wales saw an explosion and heard a loud pitch when space debris crashed into the farm of Mr. Menshers. It turned out that a three -meter fragment of a spacecraft was not the only one that fell in Australia. There was less space debris on the neighborhood field. "The Australian Space Agency is currently engaged in this because there is a legal protocol, because the fragment is technically still owned by SpaceX," Taker said.

According to the expert, Ilon Musk and SpaceX will not want to return a piece of the ship, but if, theoretically, they will suddenly change their opinion - they will have to pay Australian farmers for their space debris. Well, farmers, if desired, will be able to transfer a space troph to the museum or sell it on eBay. Tucker reported that there are many collectors in the world who may be interested in a wreck of a mask spacecraft.
