In 1997, a woman named Lottie Williams felt a tap on her shoulder in an Oklahoma park. It was a piece of a Delta II rocket. She is the only person known to have been hit by falling space debris...so far.

Above us, millions of fragments of human‑made junk orbit like bullets. Every week, something comes down. Nuclear satellites. Space stations. Shuttle wreckage. And if the Kessler Syndrome triggers a runaway chain reaction, low Earth orbit could become unusable for centuries.

This episode takes you inside the hidden crisis, from the spacecraft cemetery at Point Nemo to the Florida home that got a hole in its roof, to the time it rained nuclear material. Listen now before the next piece finds its target!
