Failed SpaceX booster "crashes into Poland" - Black - 02-19-2025
Space debris from rockets and satellites re-enter the Earth's atmosphere several times a month. Usually pieces of space debris are entirely burned up by Earth's atmosphere but larger piece can fall to earth. According to Dr McDowell, an uncontrolled large rocket re-entry is rare and has the potential to be dangerous.
"So far, we've been lucky and no-one has been hurt but the more we put into the Earth's orbit, the more likely it is that our luck will run out," he said.
"This is the fourth incident recently with a SpaceX Falcon which is causing concern. It looks like glitches like this engine failure are becoming more common."

E.Muck probably downsized at SpaceX using the same zero logic he's using on our government employees.

Folks I know have left, or are leaving SpaceX for other "New Space" companies.
