KENYA INVESTIGATES SPACE JUNK THAT FELL ON VILLAGE


Experts from Kenya’s space agency are investigating a 500kg metal ring that crashed to Earth on Monday.
It fell on Mukuku village, 50km (31 miles) south-east of the capital, Nairobi – no-one was reported hurt.


The Kenya Space Agency said its initial assessment showed that the huge object was “a separation ring from a launch vehicle (rocket)”.


It added that these “are usually designed to burn up as they re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere or to fall over unoccupied areas, such as the oceans”. (BBC News)

  1. Space alien, can Kenya manage to give a correct answer. They are just as confused and as I am.

    Finally they will just leave there kikikik!
    If it has radiation capabilities they are all affected, see ignorance and lack of scientific knowledge by stand near and inside the ring without any protective gear!

    Hell! you can do that in USA EUROPE RUSSIA JAPAN KOREA…etc we could have seen them in protective gear HEAD TO TOES like an astronaut.

    Sorry about my Africa.
