Episode description

Three big hunks of space junk have been found in the Snowy Mountains. They’ve been confirmed as pieces of one of Elon Musk’s SpaceX rockets. The latest piece, discovered by sheep farmer Mick Miners, stands nearly 10 feet tall and is firmly embedded in a paddock by one end.

Dr Brad Tucker, an astrophysicist at the Notre Dame College of Science, joins us to explain what you can and can’t do with space junk if it falls on your property.

In this episode of the Briefing, what to do if part of Elon Musk’s rocket lands in your backyard.
