Space Junk Falling From the Sky | Dublin News
Description
A giant rocket piece crashes into a Kenyan village—just one of hundreds of space junk objects falling yearly. With over 300 rockets launched last year alone, debris is exploding in volume, raising alarms as experts warn that by 2035, debris from just one company could injure someone every couple of years. Current regulations lag behind the fast-moving space industry, and tracking or holding companies accountable for damage remains a messy, slow process. As private players and nations race to the stars, Earthbound folks may soon need to look up—and brace for impact.
