A family in Naples, Florida, is seeking $80,000 in compensation from Nasa after debris from space damaged their home. The incident occurred on March 8, 2024, when a metallic cylinder slab from a cargo pallet released by the International Space Station hit the Otero family's home. Luckily, no one was injured, but the object created a hole in the roof and floor. Nasa confirmed that the debris came from its flight support equipment after analyzing it at the Kennedy Space Center. The Otero family's claim includes damages for property, business interruption, emotional distress, and assistance costs. Their attorney stated that the event had a significant impact on their lives and could have resulted in a catastrophic outcome if the debris had landed differently. This case aims to set a precedent for space debris claims in both the private and public sectors. Nasa has six months to respond to the claim.
