breaking news the world's richest man and ceo of spacex elon musk reacted to an alien obelisk that
fell on a sheep farmland in australia through his spacecraft company the spacecraft company confirms
that space debris from the last operation the company launched into orbit landed on a farmer's
property in australia however the space debris has generated a lot of reaction where people are
projecting the looming danger of the rocket debris in the nearest future if fallen in a residential
environment stay tuned as we go into details welcome to elon musk evolution a channel where we

world made history on october 4 1957 when the soviet union successfully launched sputnik from
the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan to orbit the first manufactured satellite was roughly
the size of a beach ball with a diameter of 23 inches and a weight of 190 pounds
and it took about 98 minutes for it to complete one elliptical orbit of the earth the soviet
successful launch brought a shift to new political military technological and scientific advancements
and the beginning of falling space debris this occurrence is now projected as a looming danger
to human life in years to come the first space debris that fell on earth was an 84 kilogram
beach ball-sized satellite in january 1958 exactly three months after the launch however since the
first fall in 1958 a massive belt of cosmic junk defunct satellites rocket parts bolts scraps paint
chips and many more has been accumulating around the earth however according to a recent report
rocket debris confirmed to belong to the world's richest man elon musk
spacex's company fell from the sky and was found on a rural sheep farm in south sydney australia
the part of the rocket was seen in the farmland by farmer mick miners who immediately called the
attention of australian space agency officials to the site of the incident space debris
space debris also called space junk waste or trash is defunct human-made objects in space they are
principally in earth orbit where they no longer serve any proper function space debris can be
classified as non-functional spacecraft abandoned launch vehicles erosion and collisions paint flex
solidified liquids expelled from spacecraft and even unburned particles from solid rocket motors
located in earth orbit as of january 2021 not fewer than 4 450 operational satellites
were among the 21 901 artificial objects in orbit above the earth as reported by the u.s
space surveillance network however these are only the items that u.s space surveillance network can
track but it was projected that there were more than 128 million bits of debris smaller than one
centimeter nine hundred thousand pieces between one and ten centimeters and thirty four thousand
objects bigger than ten centimeters australia's space agency confirms it to be from spacex
as reported by australia's abc locals living around the farmland set about hearing a loud
bang around the area before the rocket debris was found local farmer jock wallace when asked
about the rocket debris found on his farmland told abc that he think it's a concern it's just
fallen out of the sky it would make a mess if it landed on your houses after an investigation
australian space agency officials reported that the fallen rocket debris came from a discarded
crew capsule that spacex's dragon mission used to the international space station in 2020 they
further claim that the capsule was discarded into space by spacex's mission crew after completing
their mission at the iss the capsule was supposed to fall into the ocean but unfortunately found its
way into sheep farmland in far away australia after the incident australia's space agency
implored the public not to handle or retrieve any suspected fallen space debris on their own
while advising them to take it as a priority to contact the agency on its debris hotline
the agency emphasized that they are committed to the long-term sustainability of outer space
activities including debris mitigation according to another report by one of the space experts
of the australian national university on a local radio station he emphasized that spacex has this
capsule that takes humans into space but there is a bottom part so when the astronauts come back
they leave the bottom part in space before the capsule lands he explained further there was a
plan of having it come down on earth and purposely hit the earth's atmosphere so it would break apart
and land in the ocean and on the final note he claimed we saw most pieces land in the ocean
but clearly some hadn't because this three meter piece was speared into the ground from space
typically rocket launches are designed so that any debris will either burn up in the atmosphere
or end up somewhere far away from people or in the ocean however with the recent occurrence and
the launch rate which will be on the rise in the future there are worries that humans will soon
be harmed by falling space debris as estimated in the latest research published in nature astronomy
it's projected a 10 percent chance of a human casualty over the next decade from
falling rocket parts moreover the researchers found that as many as 70 percent rocket bodies
had fallen to earth uncontrolled over the last three decades another space debris fell
from the chinese rocket last july 30 a chinese long march 5b rockets 25-ton core stage fell
from the sky in an uncontrolled landing despite chinese claims that the big chunk of expended
metal posed little to no threat to residential areas up to 40 percent of the massive rocket which
survived the heat of re-entry showered down as pieces of debris on borneo an island in indonesia
the recent occurrence of the debris fall meant a lot of talking about the looming dangers if
the fall persists while reacting to the news via a tweet jonathan mcdowell of the harvard
smithsonian center for astrophysics said no casualties or property damage reported but
debris is near villages and a few hundred meters either way could have been a different story
nasa initially kept mom on spacex while they knocked china not long after the chinese rocket
fell nasa immediately responded to the incident through its administrator bill nelson while
emphasizing that the people's republic of china did not share specific trajectory information
as their long march 5b rocket fell back to earth and all spacefaring nations should follow
established best practices and do their part to share this type of information in advance
in the genteel parlance of diplomats speak that counts as a dressing down nasa made a u-turn
responded that the world's richest man elon musk owned spacex's confirmed space debris
fall in australia in the latest report this week nasa stated that spacex confirmed the object from
the farmland in australia was likely the remaining part of the jettison trunk segment from a dragon
spacecraft used during the crew 1 mission's return to the iss in may last year a statement
from the federal aviation administration through the new york times and reported by cnn explain the
trunk segment in the australia farmland typically burns up in the atmosphere and it likely remained
in orbit for more than one year and some pieces of trunk hardware survived to reach the earth
however till this moment there has not been any word of direct confirmation from elon musk himself
many people especially from australia expect the billionaire to at least gives a brief statement
maybe through his official twitter handle to address the issue but it seems the business
mogul is not interested in that as the company spacex has confirmed it instead he is focusing
on his plan of taking humanity to the red planet precautions are needed to avoid disaster soon
precautions need to be taken as we will be experiencing more and more rocket movement
to orbit to facilitate humans journey to mars in order to avoid a dangerous situation where a
space debris fall will happen in a residential area to cause loss of lives and properties
a good collaboration between governments worldwide and private organizations pushing the mars move
is needed the private aerospace companies and government space programs must construct
their rockets to have enough maneuvering fuel remaining on board to land at predetermined
locations in the ocean or on significant swaths of desert furthermore the atlantic council issued
a report on the need for the world to develop an international framework for orbital traffic
management which will involve the reporting and sharing of information on launches and re-entries
and a good way of conceiving of collecting and clearing some of the junk from orbit
they said achieving security economic and societal objectives in the 21st century
hinges on free and open access to outer space the report authors wrote
now is the time to act and protect the future of security and prosperity in space
