Mystery Space Debris Hits Florida Home

TL;DR Summary
A nearly 2-pound object, likely from the International Space Station, crashed through the roof of a Florida home. The object, consisting of depleted batteries from the ISS, missed its controlled reentry and was jettisoned in 2021. NASA is analyzing the debris to determine its origin. The homeowner may seek compensation from the responsible agencies, and potential liability issues arise if the material is found to be from another country. NASA initially stated that no portion of the object would survive reentry, but research suggests that a significant portion could reach the ground.
