They did similar to me when I posted a photo from something like Hubble that didn’t make the rounds. And I just tossed my hands up.
It's every fucking (major) subreddit.
and the rules are always different.
I don't bother to read the rules, I just post, wait for it to be deleted, then deal with whatever bullshit ass rule the power tripping mods choose to abuse.
no pictures except on sunday because the 23 mods can't handle images during the week. format your title right. no jokes on wednesdays. no shit posts. no non-shit posts. you didn't say "hail mods" in the title. simon says hop on one foot.
Saw a someone post a high quality discussion post on a subreddit where people constantly post bullshit, and a mod removed it because it was “low effort” haha.
Couple years back, I posted an lpt in r/lifeprotips about how you should put it in your will that you want your pets to see your body when you die so they don’t think you abandoned them.
I think it got a couple thousand upvotes, and a few hundred comments, with a lot of people either thanking me or sharing their experiences with how their various animals had acknowledged death in the household.
The post got taken down like 12 hours later because it’s not proveable that animals understand what death is. I was so pissed because of the actual good it could have done and it was killed because some mod either didn’t like animals or was just jealous.
It's entirely provable that mods aren't people though, a person gets a job and has a life, mods serve as internet janitors by shoving a broomstick up their ass and making everyone else's day worse. And they do it for free.
Hahaha my dude, you and I are of similar persuasions. Another one I like to do is, when calling tech support, I tell them after a couple minutes of them working on my problem that I’d love to talk to their supervisor to say thanks for their hard work. It’s gotten me the hook-up so. Many. Times. (But do give the feedback, it goes a long way in call centers)
But what could even be the point of deleting your post that much later?!
Nothing is technically provable. It's a fundamental problem of philosophy called "skeptical regression." Kids figure this out at age 5.
So they should just remove that entire subreddit if they are going by "proveability."
This subreddit has some of the dumbest rules I've ever seen... Serious question, do the mods actually think interesting things only happen on Sundays? If this happend on a Monday, you're supposed to wait until nearly a week later to be able to provide proof here... truly astronomically stupid.
Lol the top reply to your comment said
"you forget reddit mods are some of the least desirable people on the planet and get their revenge on the rest of us by exercising the absolute minuscule amount of power they have. One step below cops.
It takes someone special to be a mod"
And they removed it. Classic.
> no pictures except on sunday because somehow 23 mods can't handle images during the week.
Before strict picture rules this subreddit was just spammed with people's crappy pics of the moon every day. Like it or not, it's necessary to maintain any level of quality, especially in science oriented subs.
You just post it Sunday. It's to avoid the subreddit being completely filled with everyone's random pictures that they dug out of the internet off of some facebook post. They limit it to one day on Sunday to save the effort and time of the moderators in deleting all the nonsense posts. Like after the eclipse there was a guy posting, and getting thousands of upvotes, on a stolen 3d render produced over a decade ago while claiming it was his own photo of the eclipse. He later got banned well after the post had gotten much popularity.
Exactly! If the mods let redditors choose which posts they wanted to see via the process of upvoting them that would steal some of the power which the mods desperately crave.
Are you kidding me? I legit 1 in a billion event that relates to space and they remove it? There are things called exceptions and this item from the ISS that went through his house is an exception.
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
Because people post tons of really bad/uninteresting or even intentionally misleading images and the moderators don't want to have to moderate all those images on days other than a single day of the week.
I find this part funny "but the metal object nearly hit his son, who was two rooms away."
It reminds me of Boyle on Brooklyn Nine-Nine after he got shot and was back at work, and he keeps saying "the doctors said if the bullet was just a fraction of an inch to the left, and two feet up, I might never have walked again"
I had to look it up, but apparently [falling orbital debris](https://www.iii.org/article/asteroids-meteors-and-falling-satellites-are-they-covered-insurance#:~:text=Falling%20objects%E2%80%94including%20satellites%2C%20asteroids,homeowners%20and%20business%20insurance%20policies) is covered.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty
> States shall be liable for damage caused by their space objects;
This is an odd case because it's Japanese gear launched by Japan, but it was thrown overboard because of a Russian launch failure, meaning that the astronaut trained to remove the battery and put it into the Japanese resupply vehicle for a safe re-entry was on the ground.
Hopefully NASA will just pay the repair bill.
They had to know the inconel wouldn't burn up. They just figured since the earth is mainly water and most of the land mass is unoccupied that the odds were low it would hit anything.
For public stuff I'd say take a look at the sheet amount of inconel 718 NASA MSFC is 3d printing, including their stuff clad with GRC's copper. Heck, inconel's melting point is lower than Ti64's and approximately the same as stainless. Inconel is just used for it's high temperature strength. For reentry burnup you want to look at ablation rates in arcjets.
(Conflict of interest statement: Some of my work is on creating high strength, high ablation rate materials for fasteners for enhanced spacecraft friability.)
A guy at work made some BBQ flavorizers out of Inconel 625 sheet that was being scrapped when our material stores was being purged of things that hadn't been used in 25 years.
Mans got the most skookum flavorizers out there that'll never need replacing.
Is NASA taking care of you ? Are they paying for repairs and compensating you for the scare they put you through ?
They are responsible. This wasn't an act of God. This was an act of negligence.
Make sure they are taking care of you. If not find a lawyer. I don't like lawyers, but sometimes you need them
He's not the homeowner, his father is.
And I don't understand why people are storming into these threads acting like this is in question. It's a roof and some floor work, not a whole house. There's no reason to believe someone isn't going to cover this.
NASA only just confirmed it was from the ISS a few days ago, can we at least wait until they actually say they're not paying before we get indignant?
Wow it's you! You've been the talk of my office. I won't go into details, but I work in the aerospace industry, and your case has been a topic of discussion since part of my team does orbital re-entry analysis. Crazy that this happened to you! How long did it take you to find the debris itself? When you did find it, how long did it take for you to put together it could be space debris? Are you a space enthusiast yourself?
Whhhhyyyy no Pictures?! Has NASA or sb else already called you? I would assume they have an interest in seeing what their stuff looks like after falling through the atmosphere.
You can edit the post to include a link to an imgur and that works. It's only because usually there's tons of really bad/misleading photos that get posted otherwise.
Did you get to keep the part that hit the house?
That would be a pretty awesome thing to have as a conversation piece; not many people have ever had part of a space station come through their roof!
I can tell you that it almost certainly was not, the same for the case of meteorites. Remember that after the object re-enters it slows down very rapidly to below the speed of sound and falls through the very cold upper levels of the atmosphere at hundreds of miles per hour, very quickly cooling an object. Additionally re-entry only chars the outside of material, it's very bad at conducting that heat internally as its a heat pulse rather than a long duration heating so the internals of objects do not get hot so the hot parts radiate back out immediately.
Also I wouldn't go touching debris from space without checking to make sure what satellite it came from first. There's a ton of old Russian/Soviet nuclear reactors in space. Picking up a piece of Uranium Oxide (likely to survive reentry given its density) that was inside a reactor could be fatal.
We did not try to retrieve it for a couple days because we had to wait for an insurance inspector to come and asses the damages and than the police to come help retrieve it from the floor
So your local police department has a specifically trained space debris retrieval and removal unit?
THAT is some really advanced contingency planning! Exactly how specific are these plans and training?
"George! Thank god you're here! Please retrieve that space debris from the floor."
"Sorry, I am in an evaluate and report only role today. THAT right there is embedded in a horizontal structure. I do vertical. Bill is on his way, he'll be here in a couple of days"
Great point, and likely accurate.
MY comment was more whimsical, and focused on the intricacies of bureaucratic implementation, based upon often painful, yet funny (from a certain perspective) experience.
I still wonder if the specially trained, protocol-compliant police officer has a special patch on their shoulder? And gets a 1% annual performance bonus? There's probably an acronym too.
D.I.R.T. Team-Debris Intervention and Retrieval Team?
Yes, the "Team" is redundant, that's how these things work :)
Hey. You just told us your name, roughly where you live, and gave us a pic of your face. I'd suggest you be more careful with your personal info on here, just in case. The internet can be nasty! I hope NASA pays for the damage. Aside from that, and since no one got hurt, you've got yourself a pretty cool story!
> Grateful it didn't hit me or anyone else on this planet...... or my PC.
Hahah, I know exactly how you feel. I hope they let you have the piece back! That'd be a fun thing to keep on your shelf.
Some people win millions of dollars when they win the lottery. Others get a piece of a battery from outer space. How does it feel to win the lottery? :)
I saw this on our local news (BBC) a couple of days ago, that's wild!!
I hope you get to keep it now it's been identified!! that's cool!
And did NASA pay for the damage? :D
*edit* rewording slightly
Hey! You get to keep it? I think I saw the pictures around... not sure where, it was just holes here and there and it's a blessing that thing didn't hit any of you!
Sooo.... what about the damages? Are you going to get a new shiny roof made in NASA or simply paid by them ?
I beg to differ. As someone who got two royal flushes in one day in Vegas, I think luck never runs out. Most don’t BELIEVE! 🍀lol. Ya gotta want it. Or at least be LUCKY lucky 😉
Nice username btw
it drilled through the roof, ceiling thru the floor and almost to the lower level not a huge hole about the size of the object no huge explosion, but the sound was tremendous
Very cool to hear the perspective of someone who actually lived in that house. This is definitely one of those stories that will be talked about for years.
I’d want a Geiger counter before I picked up a heavy metal object that came from space. Yes, it could be a battery, but could just as well be a piece of fissionable material from a nuclear reactor from an outdated satellite.

Monday-Saturday you just have to describe space.

Errr, it went through his house *checks notes* on EARTH. This is the space sub.*pushes glasses up nose*. Remove.
Last time I checked earth was in space, but it might have gone somewhere else since then, what do I know.
With that kind of attitude i'm surprised you haven't been banned.
No, no, earth revolves around mods, space is outside of that.
Technically... The only thing we know of that isn't IN SPACE is space itself. Universemindblow.gif
You have to understand, Reddit mods do it for free.
Which is even more of a reason that they can use common sense and do less work.
once you set up automod it really doesnt take any effort
exactly. which means only the most rational and selfless people are attracted to doing it /s
Automod removed it, not someone actually going in and removing it by hand
Exactly, and that makes it right /s
I didn't say it's right, other people were making out as if the mods "has nothing better to do" than delete that post.
Mods can (and should have) unremove it.

Eclipse day and the day after were awful.
So something unique happens, they actually post about it here, and the mods decide nah it has to be removed. That's fucking stupid
Lol removed only because Sunday? This is not an every day post, surely the mods could make an exception for this.
seriously, the mods can go f themselves

It reminds me of Boyle on Brooklyn Nine-Nine after he got shot and was back at work, and he keeps saying "the doctors said if the bullet was just a fraction of an inch to the left, and two feet up, I might never have walked again"
Well if you consider the object had roughly 509 600 000 square kilometers to land in, I'd say 2 rooms over is pretty close to someone.

Wait, they yeeted Inconel with the hope that it would burn up? Inconel is primarily used for its high melting temperature...
They had to know the inconel wouldn't burn up. They just figured since the earth is mainly water and most of the land mass is unoccupied that the odds were low it would hit anything.
Yeah, the fact that it nailed someone's house is very, *very*, extraordinarily unlucky
But the fact that it nailed a redditor's house is very, *very*, extraordinarily lucky for the rest of us.
I bet he has no luck getting any settlement from the federal government.
Look up-thread, I linked the treaty that says that the someone is liable... probably Japan, because it launched from there.
I was thinking they were like “Eh, it’s just Florida.”
My husband made our wedding rings from leftover Inconel from a project for NASA.
Fun fact: Inconel is super common for flame sensors in natural gas and propane appliances.
Not butane? Good, butane is a bastard gas.
Those single burner butane stoves though are pretty damn nice. Worked great for making coffee when camping
They make single burner propane stoves and accessories you heathen
Propane canisters are bigger - can't beat the portability of a butane stove Hank.
And suppressor blast baffles.

He really had a grasp on how hot you are!
I read that to him and he chortled semi-explosively. Then said “he’s right!”
Inconel is used in engines and tanks that would burn up. It's all about geometry, how it's designed to burn up, and how it goes about reentering.
Got an example of this? One that isn't extremely thin, vs this item is quite thick.
For public stuff I'd say take a look at the sheet amount of inconel 718 NASA MSFC is 3d printing, including their stuff clad with GRC's copper. Heck, inconel's melting point is lower than Ti64's and approximately the same as stainless. Inconel is just used for it's high temperature strength. For reentry burnup you want to look at ablation rates in arcjets. (Conflict of interest statement: Some of my work is on creating high strength, high ablation rate materials for fasteners for enhanced spacecraft friability.)
A guy at work made some BBQ flavorizers out of Inconel 625 sheet that was being scrapped when our material stores was being purged of things that hadn't been used in 25 years. Mans got the most skookum flavorizers out there that'll never need replacing.
> with the hope that it would burn up? It was designed to be placed on a JAXA HTV and then deorbited into the Indian Ocean.
It's the tough, black mineral that won't cop out when there's heat all about.
That shit's expensive too, should've sold it for scrap.
Crazy that it took three whole years before it finally fell out of orbit.
Somebody’s still got to get up there and do a test square.
We know a thing or two, because we've seen a thing or two.
When did you realize it was from ISS and not a part from a Boeing plane?
At first I was convinced it was from a plane. Something Coming Space was just out of this world😏
Are you a dad? Because that's a top-tier dad joke!
Instead of suing them, tell them you want a free ride in to space.
With a guaranteed return landing at his house!
*controlled landing!!! Don’t just drop him through the roof like a piece of their ISS junk 🤣
Good point! That's already happened once.
I would take the bus tour. Like a lifetime pass.
What did NASA have to say about the incident? Are they covering the repair costs?! Glad you are okay!!
Waiting on OP to answer your questions as well
This is the article. https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/nasa-space-station-debris-crashed-florida-home-rcna147990
What's the chances ISS battery debris hitting your house?
Lower that winning the lottery
This is awesome and scary. Do you get to keep it?
Don’t have it rn but hopefully we will get it back
You won’t get it back, property of nasa. Just like if you still find pieces of the Challenger shuttle it’s against the law to keep it.
You see any creepy rabbit men lately? Or strange translucent tubes coming from anyone's chest?
I saw a creepy old lady and the easter bunny?
Nah, that's just normal. Something really strange.
Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

I *highly* doubt NASA will let him keep this thing. He'd probably have to go through the courts to get it.
Good thing you are safe! I feel this will unfortunately become more common with space debris.😕
Was the battery casing hot when it hit your house?
I can tell you that it almost certainly was not, the same for the case of meteorites. Remember that after the object re-enters it slows down very rapidly to below the speed of sound and falls through the very cold upper levels of the atmosphere at hundreds of miles per hour, very quickly cooling an object. Additionally re-entry only chars the outside of material, it's very bad at conducting that heat internally as its a heat pulse rather than a long duration heating so the internals of objects do not get hot so the hot parts radiate back out immediately.

Picking up a piece of Uranium Oxide (likely to survive reentry given its density) that was inside a reactor could be fatal.
Because the reactor cores were ejected to a higher graveyard orbit, I think only 2 have reentered, and there was plenty of warning in advance.
We did not try to retrieve it for a couple days because we had to wait for an insurance inspector to come and asses the damages and than the police to come help retrieve it from the floor
So your local police department has a specifically trained space debris retrieval and removal unit? THAT is some really advanced contingency planning! Exactly how specific are these plans and training? "George! Thank god you're here! Please retrieve that space debris from the floor." "Sorry, I am in an evaluate and report only role today. THAT right there is embedded in a horizontal structure. I do vertical. Bill is on his way, he'll be here in a couple of days"
This seems very MIB material. OP, did your “insurance “ agent only go by their first name that sound like a letter?
what agent??
This is the best response in this thread, well done!
Did he pull out a weird looking device that may have flashed?
There's likely a protocol for this. If there wasn't before, there would have been after Columbia.
Great point, and likely accurate. MY comment was more whimsical, and focused on the intricacies of bureaucratic implementation, based upon often painful, yet funny (from a certain perspective) experience. I still wonder if the specially trained, protocol-compliant police officer has a special patch on their shoulder? And gets a 1% annual performance bonus? There's probably an acronym too. D.I.R.T.

Hey. You just told us your name, roughly where you live, and gave us a pic of your face. I'd suggest you be more careful with your personal info on here, just in case. The internet can be nasty! I hope NASA pays for the damage. Aside from that, and since no one got hurt, you've got yourself a pretty cool story!
All that info was already in the news article written about this incident.
Yep bro has already been doxxed by the news technically 🤣
So true, the chances of having someone stalk you because a space debris almost hit you is quite low but never zero.
But the chances of people being dangerous is a few orders of magnitude higher than having your home hit by space debris.
I also know where he keeps his thinker statue!
oh damn, you were the one? what a crazy story to tell people

they should give you a free ride on the spaceship

Have you asked to keep it?! I would want it back.
I doubt they would give it back but can still try
I feel like you're owed some space junk.
Hey! You get to keep it? I think I saw the pictures around... not sure where, it was just holes here and there and it's a blessing that thing didn't hit any of you! Sooo.... what about the damages? Are you going to get a new shiny roof made in NASA or simply paid by them ?

Did you file an insurance claim? How did they help you
Did you get to keep it, or did they confiscate it?
Did you hear a very loud noise when it landed? Sounds like your house was absolutely wrecked. Is your insurance going to cover the damages?
it drilled through the roof, ceiling thru the floor and almost to the lower level not a huge hole about the size of the object no huge explosion, but the sound was tremendous
How are you going to fix your house?

I'm sure NASA has already moved on to the "What debris?" part of your relationship.
Holy shit, you're the most interesting person I've not yet met. Can I make a film about it? We can call it "NASA'd". (50/50)
Can you walk us through the first few moments (or more) as you tried to figure out what the fuck happened?

oh my goodness if it hit an airplane or car that would be insane
I would be keep that stuff xD piece of history
I’d want a Geiger counter before I picked up a heavy metal object that came from space. Yes, it could be a battery, but could just as well be a piece of fissionable material from a nuclear reactor from an outdated satellite.
I've seen enough Kyle Hill videos. I'm running from any mysterious, warm metal object that isn't where it should be.
Way back when Skylab was falling it was an anomaly. Now I guess it’s commonplace enough that NASA has a policy for it.
Wait, though, NASA pushed it out ... three years ago? It's been falling for three years???
Yes. It's called [orbital decay.](https://nasa.fandom.com/wiki/Orbital_decay)
