Dracula never expected that stray wooden spike from space!
Only if we follow though with the experiment of making a satellite of wood.
Nice funny but the wood if it were at all in space would burn up on reentry
@@unnamedchannel1237nuh uh
Also what parts of satélites are made of wood? Hehe
@@unnamedchannel1237that's why Japan is making wooden satellites...
Back in 1968 a friend of mine and myself were 12 years old and would sleep outside in his backyard. As we laid in our sleeping bags we'd look up at the stars and with luck we'd see a satellite, most of the time we wouldn't. I thought about this this other night while I stared up at the stars. Within 20 minutes I counted 49 satellites flying over, coming and going in all directions.
If you have good eyesight you can see many many of them. It’s hard for me but a friend of mine see them.
Sure it was not a meteor shower? Did we have so many satellites back then?
I miss seeing satellites. I saw so many of them every clear night we had in the US. As soon as I moved to England, 13 years ago, I've seen one. Anyone know why that is? Besides the obvious?
@@S0-102 No it was just the other night they saw 49 of them. They were saying in '68 they'd be lucky to spot one
Didn’t happen but nice try I guess
Wait?! What?! A 10kg piece of debris fell FROM SPACE and hit a kid in the HEAD...and he got just ...a bruise?
A glancing blow obviously.
Many people in war have been "shot in the head" with no serious injury where the head and the bullet had about .01 mm of overlap. A "glancing blow" or being "grazed" by the bullet. Or perhaps it hit some tree branches first so that really it didn't fall from space to hit him, but rather fell 4 meters from a tree and hit him.
kids have injury buff many players say its not very balance and adults player say its unfair that the most silly injury can fuck them up
@@rushyscoper1651 Dunno, Ive seen adult players fall from high places and coming out fine, but also have read of kid players getting injured in the dumbest ways even with a toy doll supposed to be safe.
If the thing was initially intercepted by trees, as was said, the mass of the energy may already have been reduced by the trees.
Decades ago a piece of NASA space debris landed in a city in California. The city sent NASA a bill for littering and NASA paid it. I think it was $500.
Lmfao
That's gay, so I believe it
@@Coktane_ how is fining a public agency for littering gay?
That sounds like the SkyLab story. Esperance in Western Australia fined NASA $400 for littering when various bits landed there. NASA didn't pay, but a few years ago a US radio station did a fundraiser and paid it.
SkyLab also killed a rabbit.
That sounds like a bonifeied president for the courts to fight about.
Roofs will need to be rated for space junk in the future.

watch insurance putting hidden clause to not pay for space junk caused events
Most houses around the world can resist the impact at terminal sped from such small objects, only in the US houses are so flimsy that a bowling ball falling from 100 feet can go thorough the roof and floor.
@@JohnDoe-qz1ql Or maybe some kind of special material that can be mixed with water gravel and sand that has a liquid consistency and can be poured into a slab like mold that after a day or so becomes very hard like a rock.
Time to start a Space Debris insurance company. How are you going to prove what nation, company, entity is responsible?
Who pays? The agencies? Is coverage global? There are many things to think about to make it work.
Different countries use different metals and combinations of metals, if it survives re-entry, it'll be metal and testable lol.
If you read your homeowner's insurance policy in it's entirety you will see that space junk isn't covered. Time to start an insurance company to protect people while the sky is falling. Separating people from their money...
@@billhorton2564 Exactly
@@jamesfowley4114 I pay, coverage is for your home... it doesn't move. It works like insurance against weather events. It is just a question of doing the actuarial tables.

Apparently the US is obligated to pay damages when debris hits other countries, but it doesn't have to pay anything when it lands on American soil.
ETA: didn't think this would get so many responses. I'm primarily talking about the Space Liability Convention under the Outer Space Treaty of 1972. It's between States. If China drops something on your house, you have to ask your government to sue China. The only time this has happened so far I think is when Canada sued the Soviets over a nuclear powered satellite that fell on Canada. USSR did pay expenses for clean up.
On US soil, that international treaty doesn't apply. There is no automatic liability so the guy down in Florida will have to sue. Besides the home repairs his insurance company quickly paid for, he's going for unspecified other damages, like emotional damage or something. I'd say good luck getting the US government to accept liability for that.
I want some on my land.
NASA was issued a littering ticket for spraying Skylab over an Australian Desert, they never paid it.
Pretty standard for the American government, it hates the American citizens
@@Reoh0z I believe there was a diplomatic American who picked up the tab, but I forget who it was...
What about the trash You're tiny nation put into space?
All satellites that are launched must be capable of either safely deorbiting themselves or ascending to a graveyard orbit. Satellites that fail to do this should be fined, and any damages they cause must be compensated for.
It would be super simple to decommission them with enough propellant to send them to the sun. Plus, that extra mass will prolong the suns eventual demise by a few seconds lol
@@A_Stereotypical_Heretic uhhhmm, no. The amount of propellant it takes to fall into the sun is absolutely enormous. In fact it actually takes more propellant to fall into the sun than it does to escape the solar system entirely. You would have to escape Earth’s gravity entirely and then burn enough fuel to cancel out the 30 kilometer per second velocity of our planet's orbit around the sun. You would basically need an entire Saturn V waiting in orbit in order to pull off such a stunt
Why not just send it to another star system at that point? Lets give potential aliens our trash, litter the cosmos. /s
@@EpicMiniMeatwad I vote for developing a particle beam device that can shoot the satellite with selected elements and radiation such that the debris is transformed into cheese through ion implantation and stimulated nuclear interactions. Probably easier to do than enough delta V to send it to the sun.
@@A_Stereotypical_Heretic It's actually easier to send a probe to Pluto than it is to send one to Mercury, and sending something directly to the Sun is a *_lot_* harder than a Mercury mission.
The Earth is orbiting the Sun at over 107 thousand kph (a little over 65,000 mph). Falling into the Sun involves "slowing down" by that much. Most of the older satellites are at least 500 kg, and the larger ones are at least a metric ton each. I have no clue how much propellant a "garbage collector" ship has to have to have to carry _that_ much delta-V to slow down a ~1 ton satellite, much less send _that_ ship from the pad to low Earth orbit.
Once that's figured out, count the number of satellites you'd like to send to the Sun and multiply that number with the cost of whatever it was to make *that* garbage collector ship -- plus the booster stages sending each ship to LEO.
Edit: I imagine it'd be a lot cheaper for NASA and the other space agencies to just pay for damages (which might go into the billions if it hit major cities and people) than it is to build those _disposable_ garbage-collecting ships (which might cost trillions, even if something like a SpaceX Falcon Heavy or Starship was used).
Back in the late 70s, I was working an offshore supply boat, on station as a fire suppression unit tied up alongside a oil platform.
As third officer, Chief Engineer, I almost always "had the wheel" for graveyard shift. And boy are the stars spectacular out away from light pollution!
Anyway, one night I watched a satellite re-entry where about 4-5 pieces were big enough to splash. Even at about a mile away, the splash was visible, so they were big enough to hit hard. They came down almost in a group, and I remember thinking that all those pieces of junk could have sunk us.
I guess I was just lucky.👀
In 1961, the USA paid $2 million in indemnity to a Cuban whose cow was killed by rocket fragments.
There is a rock song in spanish about the event: "Aquella solitaria vaca cubana" (that solitary cuban cow).
Poor cow :(

But it's going to get complicated because it's not just NASA. ESA, the Russians/Soviets, Japan, China and now private firms are putting stuff up there. There's going, or I guess already is a new field of satellite forensics.
what? proofread your sentence

It's going to get complicated because it's not just NASA putting stuff up in space anymore. ESA, Russia, Japan, China, and even private companies now put stuff in space. Who are you gonna sue when you can't prove the origin of the space debris?
Stop, it's not that difficult
Space law is a thing, with lawyers and all, between Kesslers Syndrome and and space junk landing on terra firma.
A small child hit on the forehead by a 10k aluminium ball and walked away with a bruise? I think his old man found the ball and thought "I could be quids in here" and hit his son on the noggin.
Squids are yummy
the kid was below tree so I guess the ball bounced and slowed down so it barely touched him by a side, because I doubt the hit would've been directly on top of him, he would be pretty much dead.
@@TheOtherSideChso he was very lucky and a good locker room/ bar / campfire story!
Unbreakable. Chinese dub.
Expect it happened in China where peasants have no rights. They could get some local fame though. Free 🍚
Honestly 80k for a roof, probably a couple walls, and some tile floor... thats about right
Do you think homeowner’s insurance would pay for that, or would that be considered “an act of god”?
@@blastypowpow Pretty sure space debris is NOT covered.
@@blastypowpow Definitely wouldn't be considered an act of god
@@CrimsonBlot Insurance is often multiperil these days, in that if the thing got harmed and it wasn't your fault, then it may be covered unless your breached some sort of condition-precedent; even then, you may be able to argue relief from forfeiture

A couple years ago, we had a house here that got hit by a meteor. The homeowner was VERY lucky. He was watching TV in his living room, and had decided to go to bed. He had taken a shower and was just drying off when he heard this huge crash from his living room. He thought that someone was breaking into his house. He found that there was a hole smashed right through his house. The meteor was a little bigger than a softball, and it had smashed through his roof, went through the ceiling of the living room, and smashed the chair, he was previously sitting in, to pieces. From there, it went through the floor and into his basement where it became imbedded in his basement floor. He's lucky it didn't start a fire like what happened when a meteor struck a house in Texas last year or the year before. That guy lost his entire house. It went up like matchsticks. And with man made space debris in such an abundance, we're going to be hearing more and more stories like this, except involving man made objects.
Fake story.
wow, so up from 3 in 20 years to what? like 4 in 20 years? it is a real shame that people lack basic numeracy
Hope he made some money when he dug it up
If you are talking about that meteorite that hit the home in NJ, then nothing in your story is true.
Meteorites also sell for about $10 per gram, so if this is true, the homeowner would have made quite a bit of money.
After the one spacex launch (that exploded) there was a shower of junk falling around our neighborhood here in texas. It sounded like hail, so no one noticed because we get hail all the time.
If you still have some, then try to get a certificate of authenticity from SpaceX (if they demand indemnity, then demand back that they sign ownership of the piece over to you in return), then encase the thing in resin like they do with those scorpions, and stick it in a back closet for a few years: the combination of certificate of authenticity and fancy packaging should make it a decently valuable trinket in a few years.
@@absalomdraconis or use it as proof in a law suit, this was noticeable in a town, Im pretty sure they also spread this fairly widely over all of the local ecology, while potentially tracking the toxic chemicals imparted onto it from the rocket exploding
@@absalomdraconis these are tiny peaces. too small to even find. I am nowhere near the launch. They were carried by the wind.
I love scientists' ability to say we didn't or don't know. That is so intelligent and healthy. You are wonderful Anton! Thank you for sharing and teaching us.
What I find amusing is that we are paying SpaceX to de-orbit the ISS while just last week SpaceX dropped part of its Dragon (from the trunk section) into North Carolina... having done much the same in Canada recently. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
The Japanese are working on a satellite made out of wood, turns out it works quite well. Errmm sorry what ?! say that again..That`s kinda impressive 😎

You cannot sue the federal government without its permission. Every year there is a bill (i.e. piece of legislation) that Congress votes on listing which plaintiffs will receive compensation.
Which bill(s)?
Sovereign immunity.
How are the taliban wives suing us then?
@@xeniko1226 Re-read the post you are responding to.
@@Sonny_McMacsson You'd need to ask an attorney who's familiar with the procedure for suing the federal government. I just remember that a bill (not an invoice but rather a piece of legislation that will be voted on) is introduced every year listing those whose requests for compensation are granted.
0:57 Ah...I see that piece of space debris also managed to fossilize a small frog sitting on top of it, as it came hurtling down through the atmosphere lol...well at least Kermit made it down in one piece...
Due to the constant increase in space vehicles it's quite likely that at least one person that watch this exact video will have a close encounter with space debri in their lifetime 😅
I'm sure I could dodge a piece of debris.
Statistically, life is a risk. Still that is always worth minimizing when possible.

Define "quite likely". Did you do the math? Where is it? Was it checked by several people? No? oh, okay.
I live in Melbourne Australia & watched what I assume was space junk fall very very low over my house only 3 nights ago. At first it looked like a shooting star, But then it got very big & very low. Then it burnt up a green sort of colour
Most likely it was aliens arriving from another galaxy. Thats why there is no big crater.
I think the probability is so low one is more likely to get struck by a lighting or win a lottery than getting hit by a space junk.
Lottery good, space junk bad 😂
Then I choose winning the lottery.
Never thought chicken little would be right. Turns out the sky is falling. LOL
When Skylab was de-orbited in 1979, some of it hit Australia, with debris found in a swathe across southern Western Australia, causing no damage or injury whatsoever. However, the Shire of Esperance did fine NASA $400 for littering, a fine paid by a local radio station host.
Absolutely that company should pay for the damages THEIR space debris created
Also lets add about $2M due long term psychological damages for each of the persons present on the house at the moment. God, I love suing in the USA, is like playing lottery but with many orders of magnitude higher probabilities of wining. Cheers!
It's about time this was addressed. And garbage is still piling up down here.
We have crapped up the oceans with plastic and other stuff, why should space be any different?
Thanks for the warning, Anton! Do you think a tinfoil helmet might protect me?
Should we lie down or put bags over our head?
Didn't expect you to mention Yellowknife. It's my hometown!
If you are into model rockets and fire one straight into your neighbor's house, destroying it when it catches fire, you can expect to be sued. This just took a lot longer.
Thank you for posting about this. Because I have been trying to explain this to people I know and I just sound crazy to them. I've tried to explain to them the plight of Mount Everest that we have now polluted the oceans completely. I've been trying to explain that we now have trash all the way up in space too.
How can you get struck on the forehead with a 10kg aluminum ball and be fine? @5:10
Good. Anyone dumping their unused crap up there should be responsible for the damages it causes when it falls.
You say that like governments and corporations are made up of people who are subject to regulations and laws made for people.
@@innocentbystander3317 you can be sure that if a piece of space trash from NASA falls on the head of a higher up in China you're getting an ICBM thrown in the middle of D.C
or what? exactly.
We should be designing debris catch and de orbiting drones that work in conjunction with the tracking systems. There should be an international treaty REQUIRING all space companies in all countries to put a catch and de orbiting drone in use for a certain amount of debris created. And space based lasers would be a very effective way to push space debris into the atmosphere at a time and place of our choosing. Laziness is the ONLY reason space debris is becoming a hazard to life on earth.
I guess it's time for a remake of The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980), with a different origin for the bottle
Part of me thinks getting hit by space debris should be worth way more than than $80k. Part of me doesn't want to get NASA sued out of existence. I can't believe the space junk problem has gotten this bad with no real solution just "yeah it should burn up."
Nasa is funded by the u.s airforce . Should be okay .
NASA is financed by tax payer. You can't sue them out of existence as long you can milk us citizen
Dead Like Me.

When elon's space junk starts falling, scenes like this are going to become more and more common.

NASA aren't the only ones with junk flying around up there.
The last thing I needed, was now to also worry if some space junk will fall on my head while working outside.
You don't have to worry when you are outside. This junk went through their roof, through the ceiling, and through two floors. Roughly like an artillery shell but without the explosion at the end.
@@johnpublic6582 Oh hell... lol
Time to figure out how to collect the garbage. The idea of 'letting it polute the oceans' sounds beyond regrettable
This lawsuit deeply worries me about the future of space exploration…
But at the same time, both sides have quite compelling arguments that make it impossible for me to say that someone shouldn’t be able to sue NASA for damages they receive from space debris.
Ugh, why does space exploration have to be so difficult; having to face so many constant setbacks both scientifically/physically and financially? 😭
I Watch your Channel a lot..., but I have to say that for NASA to get sued for falling junk from space, first it has to be proven that it belongs to NASA, maybe is
from another Agency or Private Company..., it would be like saying that all Aliens come from Mars...
You have a great channel...! GREETINGS
This reminds me of the show, Dead Like Me; where she gets hit by a toilet seat from the space station. That came on tv quite awhile ago.
Wait til all those Starlink satellites start falling.
Bring the world, or at least a piece of it, into your living room.
That is sort of like telephone poles getting blown over in the wind. Happens all the time to power and landline companies.
Starlink satellites are relatively small compared to some of the multi-ton behemoths that are as big as a school bus.
@@Sixotoo Big or small, a small bit of collided shrapnel say 1 cm in diameter travelling at 30,000 km/ph has deadly momentum, enough to continue a Kessler type sustained reaction.
@@coweatsman by the time they get to the ground they are traveling at their sea level terminal velocity. For instance if you fire a rifle straight up the bullet doesn’t come down at the same speed it went up. You could easily catch the bullet if you could see it coming. Obviously size matters. A lot. But anything on a Starlink satellite that didn’t burn up would be about bullet size by the time it reaches the ground. Like batteries.
Parts in low earth orbit may experience drag from the exosphere as their orbit decays, slowing them considerably before they finally fall. Which means they will not burn up completely. Dropping from 25000mph to perhaps 10000mph will drastically reduce how much the pieces heat up at final reentry.
Looking at that carbon fiber in this vid and the various other resilient materials that can fray, velocity can be reduced drastically before it has a chance to burn completely. If it still has enough mass, the terminal velocity or just shear mass can still be deadly.
Pretty terrifying idea that we are definitely going to be trapped on our planet by space garbage before we’re able to escape.
A friend of mine had space shuttle debris fall all over his lake property in SE Texas. He was sitting on his deck in shorts, and all these guys in hazmat suits showed up in his yard. "Hey guys, anything I should be worried about?"
I can understand the pain and frustration of these individuals. I myself have been struck by space debris on over 37 different occasions, 3 of which were fatal. Four automobiles I owned have been destroyed by debris of varying sort. I am no longer capable of obtaining car insurance, even through Geico. The gazebo in my backyard was obliterated by what appeared to be the remains of a Steinway Model L grand piano -- an oddity considering, to the best of my knowledge, no space agency or organization has ever launched such an object into space, nevertheless the evidence remains. To that end I have installed a 800 kilowatt pulse carbon-dioxide laser array onto the roof of my home to deal with incoming junk. This has lead to a reduction in incidents but a massive increase in complaints from my HOA regarding unauthorized installation of energy weapons, fines from the FAA regarding hazards to air traffic, and constant letters from my power company, reminding me that my account is over two thousand dollars in arrears. So thank you Anton, for drawing attention to this troubling issue. Hopefully, others do not have the same degree of trouble as I with this.
RIP x3
The energy company is so greedy they'd charge a man thrice deceased. Smh.
The lawsuit will fail. You can only sue a federal agency for more than $10,000 under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Where's the tort? Negligence requires malice. So unless the state has some weird aerial damage tort, it's a no-go.
@@deadman746 good luck with your American laws on international junk
@@wb3904 Yeah, that probably won't work either, but jurisdiction would depend on where the battery was made. However, there was a US case on a painting stolen by the Nazis in Europe, and SCROTUS upheld it.
Honestly i think it's worth the risk, they certainly should compensate anyone personally affected, but this is the most ultimate and technical form of evolution earth has ever seen. I really don't think we should stop.
Yes we need to find a way to stop relying on plastics and everyone relying on polluting energy sources but we are currently evolving in a great way
Devo addressed this back in the 1970's:
Well, she was walking all alone

so NASA essentially has bullets surrounding the planet that hit the surface occasionally, knowingly.
When gun violence gets so bad that bullets are flying around in orbit…
Not just NASA, but all of the nations sending anything into space. We all are careless like this.
"The sky is falling!" is no longer just a line from a fairytale.
Power Stone.
Geeat work gathering these stories and diving deep on subjects.
NASA, and the other space agencies, need a big ass net to scoop all this crap up
this is trivial and for the few cases of actual damage the victim should be compensated. there. stop shrieking. i fixed it.
"Here's the money for your dead child/wife/husband etc.'
the issue is not that space debris is hitting homes, etc. the problem is how toxic much of it is. For every piece that hits somewhere on land, you can say that many more land in the oceans. I wonder what the effects will be. Just like with EVs, the ecological disaster is potentially mind boggling.
While worrying about toxicity, don't forget the 99 million barrels of oil the world uses daily and the 8 billion tons of coal annually. We're just used to those.
Tiny pieces of plastic are circulating in your blood right now. Nobody has any idea what that will do long term.
They are discovering that "artificial objects" are actually real objects. Every one of them!
The small stuff slows down rapidly enough that it doesn’t surprise me
A 10kg piece of metal falling from space and hitting your head leaving a bruise, I'm calling bs on that one.
Ever heard of acceleration decrease? It is when objects getting slowed down. Simple energy transformation. Maybe get some education in simple physics my guy

Absolutely predictable. Like global warming from burning oil, this danger had been deliberately ignored.
long time since I checked in on Anton's channel…1.33 million subs…wow😮
Reminds me of the Physics building at my University in Australia. On the wall in the entrance foyer was a display cabinet with a large (half a meter or so) fragment of a titanium pressure vessel, from a soviet era spacecraft. With labels pointing out various features, like the laser welding. I often wondered about he provenance of that.
Remember the episode about why we can't blow up an asteroid . Because the pieces would the re clump
Maybe all these people sending rockets and satellites up to space the cause of the masses of space junk up there should be thinking about how to start cleaning it all up ?
Just because that trash is really really expensive doesn't mean it isn't littering. I'm of the opinion that you can shoot off any kind of fireworks you want as long as you clean up after yourself. And these space programs are not doing that very well
I absolutely love this channel ❤Space 🚀🌌 n science 🧪🔭 keeps me and my gkids n kids talking so thank You Anton ❤🙏🏾🌍🌎
Frankly, high time. Why they thought it's OK to leave their junk "up there" is beyond me.
I’m most impressed that early on in the space race someone managed to directly strike a ship. The odds have to be insane 😅
Elon Musk to introduce the first WALL-E prototype any day now.
Huh Im always used to seeing my home city mentioned in the context of this gonna be another first 48 case and less in a science based story! Much love from Tulsa, Oklahoma Anton!
The bit about wooden satellites reminds me of the old article in The Onion, during the steep decline of the Russian space program in the nineties, about how they had to carve a new space station.
The original concept for Alien 3 took place on a wooden space station. I always thought that was a really cool concept.
“Have you been hurt by falling spacecraft? Call the law offices of Morden and Associates! We handle STS fragments, Cargo Dragon claims, and even Unidentified Aerial Phenomena!” Guy in a red Starfleet uniform: “I was hit after we beamed down to Cestus 3. Mr. Morden got me a hundred and thirty five thousand bars of gold-pressed latinum!” Background alien from cantina scene in Star Wars (episode IV: A New Hope): “berbedeber-bear-her-berbedly-her-berp!”
Governments of the world "we put all that stuff up there... literally no one else could do that but us...so you're going to have to deal with it citizens!"
Space trash hitting your house is good luck.
If you live through it.
space debris phobia added to the list
Can you make a video about the slow rise of weaponized satellites? And the danger of militarized space?
It's very concerning how rapidly space is being militarized, with inspection ships, to satellites armed with missles.
I feel like we will see alot more debris falling from a warzone in space.
NASA engineering: tough enough to survive re-entry
And a lot of telecommunication companies want to launch their own large network of satellites in low-earth orbits.
Oh great, so now I have to worry about a nuclear satellite falling on my head when I'm out mowing the lawn?
Thanks Anton for the space news.
Soon WTP will be footing the bill to gather this space debris to stop it from falling.
It's just a matter of time before someone almost gets hit with a lamp labelled "Sirius (9 canis major)".
Thank you for Sharing! 💯✴
Imagine that Tesla landing on your head.
It’s messed up that they have to pay out if it hits another country and damages property but if it’s your own countries space junk then they don’t have to pay out right away. You have to sue them that’s really really fucked up
It's ironic that the first steps toward 97r space efforts involved hitting populated areas from high altitudes, and we're still doing that about 8 decades later.
This tradition can be thrown out.
Still an awesome video, my wonderful fellow.
The privatization of space travel and satellites means that there are going to be a lot more space debris rain. Space X has been launching stuff for Starlink almost every few weeks in California. Private companies never play fairly unless they're forced to, especially if they start having shareholders who don't care about the product/service quality, so there needs to be some way to hold them accountable that's not just a cost of running business for them.
Dude took a 10kg aluminum sphere to the forehead? and lived? AND LIVED!
Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 🤘🙃
