It is very odd for the owner of a house in Naples Florida that is owned by Alejandro Otero's roof on Friday March 8 to cause damage to the point that Alejandro did report what happened to officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The NASA officials determined that the object that came from outer space was the remains of a 5,800 pound cargo pellet of depleted nickel hydride batteries that was dropped from the International Space Station in March 2021 which did manage to survive re-entry and crash in the home of Alejandro. NASA will investigate why the debris manage to crash into the home. The size of the debris was around two pounds even though the severity of the damage was not reported to the public.

Two pounds doesn't sound like a lot, but falling from space could cause a lot of damage. I'm glad he contacted NASA.

I have some knowledge that when a small object falls down from a height to the ground, it would be like being hit by a heavy object that would harm or even end someone's life.

There must be so much debris up in space. I think over the years more will come tumbling down on us.

It is odd for an object falling from space to the ground after three years.

In this case, surely someone is responsible, and the poor householder should be compensated for this damage. Now, if it was a spacerock, or meteorite, maybe they, or no one, would not be responsible for that.

I also hope that Alejandro does get compensated for the damage to his roof.
