“Weird” SpaceX Debris Find For Australian Sheep Farmer

A charred chunk of one of SpaceX missions was confirmed to have been found by an Australian sheep farmer in a remote area near Australia’s Snowy Mountains, about five hours from Sydney.

“It was kind of exciting and weird all in the same way,” astrophysicist Brad Tucker, who visited the site after local farmers contacted him last month, told AFP, describing the find as something out of the sci-fi film “2001: A Space Odyssey”.

The debris turned out to be a trunk jettisoned by the earlier Crew-1 capsule when it re-entered Earth’s atmosphere in 2021.
