A farmer in rural Saskatchewan, Canada, discovered a 7-foot long, 3-foot wide, 80-pound heap of twisted, burnt metal out in one of his fields. Noticing the multiple layers of charred composite fibres, he suspected it was space debris. (*’cause many Canadian farmers hold degrees in Astrophysics Engineering.) A group of astronomy professors heard about the case and investigated and agreed that it was space debris from a SpaceX rocket that was launched back in February. Large chunks of metal from space have recently been found in Australia and Washington state, and one smashed through the roof on a house in Florida. So far, Space X hasn’t come to claim the debris from Sawchuk. Farmer Sawchuk said he’s going to try and sell the space remnant, and put the money toward building a hockey rink for his town.
* Seriously? Is a lot of that 80-pounds pure gold?
* He did notice that the corn in that field was growing exceptionally tall, and he can hear it talking.
* And here I can get fined $200 if I don’t pick up my dog’s poop. It doesn’t seem fair.
* Wasn’t this an episode of Outer Range?
