A family in Naples, Fla. is seeking compensation from NASA after a piece of metal trash from the International Space Station crashed through their home in March. Although no one was injured, the incident was described as a "near miss" with potential catastrophic consequences. The cylindrical metal object, identified as part of a cargo pallet carrying batteries released from the ISS, narrowly avoided causing serious harm. The family's attorney emphasized the stress and impact on their lives, demanding adequate compensation from NASA. The incident highlights the growing concern of space debris and the need for stricter regulations. NASA's response to the claim could set a legal precedent for future incidents involving US citizens. The family is seeking over $80,000 in damages for property, emotional distress, and business interruption. NASA has six months to respond to the claim, according to the Federal Torts Claim Act.
