A Wisconsin woman, Mariah Davenport, had a frightening experience while flying from Punta Cana to Chicago when debris from a SpaceX launch began falling to the ground. The 20-year-old student captured the event on her cell phone as her flight was forced to turn around and head back to the Dominican Republic. SpaceX’s mission had gone awry with an explosion during a test launch in south Texas, causing debris to fall back to earth. The Federal Aviation Administration halted flights from arriving at several Florida airports due to the falling space debris. Davenport’s flight eventually safely landed at O’Hare Airport in Chicago after turning back to Punta Cana. The incident highlights the potential dangers of space debris and the importance of monitoring and controlling space activity.
