TL;DR Summary

A Florida man narrowly avoided being hit by a piece of space junk that crashed through the roof of his home, nearly hitting his son. The two-pound metal object, suspected to be from the International Space Station, left a large hole in the floor and ceiling. NASA is investigating the origin of the debris, which may have been part of the 2021 unguided reentry of depleted batteries from the ISS. While most of the debris was expected to burn up upon reentry, some agencies suspected parts would survive, raising questions about who is responsible for the debris.
