Elon Musk's junk is once again causing problems for people.
According to Tucker, the part was supposed to splash down in the ocean, rather than coming to rest in Miners’ paddock.
‘There was a plan of having it come down on Earth and purposely hitting the Earth’s atmosphere so it would break apart and land in the ocean,’ he said. ‘We saw most pieces land in the ocean but clearly some hadn’t because this three-metre piece was speared into the ground from space.’Apparently, from a distance the piece of space junk looks just like a burnt tree.‘The Australian Space Agency is now handling it because there is actually a legal protocol… so technically it’s still SpaceX’s,’ Mr Tucker explained.
If Elon Musk’s private space company want the rocket’s remains back again, they’ll have to pay both Mike Miners and his neighbour Jock to retrieve it. Local reports claim large numbers of people in New South Wales saw an explosion and heard the crash of the piece of space junk coming back down to Earth.
