Space Junk From the ISS Hits Florida Home

A family in Naples, Florida, is suing NASA after space debris from the International Space Station crashed through their home.

The incident occurred in March 2023, when a piece of space junk, a discarded battery pallet, pierced the roof and two floors of their house.

NASA has confirmed the debris originated from the ISS, but the family is arguing that NASA should be held liable for the damage.

This lawsuit could set a precedent for how governments and private companies handle compensation for victims of space debris incidents.
