SpaceX Rocket Debris Found in Poland
Debris from a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket re-entered Earth's atmosphere and fell in Komorniki village, Poland. Adam Borucki discovered a piece of debris behind his shed, identified as part of the Falcon 9 rocket by Polsa, the Polish Space Agency.
Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Jonathan McDowell stated that the rocket was supposed to re-enter the atmosphere in a controlled manner and land in the Pacific Ocean, but an engine malfunction caused the uncontrolled re-entry.
