Thousands of rocket parts dumped in space at growing risk of ‘catastrophic’ collision with planes, experts warn
SPACE debris raining down on Earth is increasingly at risk of causing “catastrophic” collisions with aircraft, a damning new report has revealed.
A sharp rise in the number of rocket launches has fuelled uncontrolled reentries of space debris – chunks of metal and machinery.
Controlled reentries of space debris are carefully monitored by space companies and agencies, with a landing destination in mind – usually the ocean.
But uncontrolled landings, where experts are unsure of where space debris will land, are becoming more common.
There are more than 2300 rocket bodies currently swinging round in Earth’s orbit, which will eventually fall back down to Earth, the report published in Nature warned.
“Uncontrolled reentries of space objects create a collision risk with aircraft in flight,” experts from the University of British Columbia, Canada wrote.
“While the probability of a strike is low, the consequences could be catastrophic.”
The risk of an aircraft being affected by uncontrolled space debris reaches as high as 26% in areas of busy airspace, the report cautioned.
These include parts of the northeastern United States, northern Europe, or around major cities in the Asia-Pacific region.
The collision risk for any space debris reentry increases with air traffic density, the report continued.
Experts warned that airspace authorities like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) will increasingly have to consider the risk of falling space debris, as Earth enters a new space-faring era.
The FAA was forced to create a Debris Response Area and slow aircraft near SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Texas, after its Starship rocket exploded during a test launch on 16 January.
A number of aircraft were kept grounded where space debris was actively falling.
While flights over the Gulf of Mexico were made to alter course to avoid the falling wreckage.
Leftovers from the 400ft rocket body were seen spraying across the sky, with debris mostly falling in the Atlantic, near the Turks and Caicos islands.
Rocket parts and disused satellites are designed to burn up during their reentry into Earth’s atmosphere, or plunge into the oceans.
But there were reports of Starship debris being found on land in the area.
Too many close calls
By Millie Turner, Senior Technology & Science Reporter
At the current rate, it’s only a matter of time before we have our first casualty from man-made space objects.
No one has yet died from falling space debris, though there have been plenty of instances of infrastructure damage and even injuries.
In 2002, six-year-old boy Wu Jie became the first person to be directly injured by falling space junk, after 20 metal rocket chunks showered on his village in China.
Fast forward to January 2025, and we have a 500kg metal ring falling on a village in Kenya.
The choppy irregularity of space launches pre-SpaceX meant Nasa could afford to rely on the chance of expended metal falling into the ocean or in an uninhabited area – if it hadn’t already burnt up.
But that won’t work for much longer.
In 2022, four airspaces in Europe were closed, and 11 monitored, when a 20tonne Long March 5B rocket body fell back down to Earth.
It was predicted to reenter Earth’s atmosphere over southern Europe, but eventually reentered over the Pacific Ocean.
The report said the location “was a result of chance rather than design”.
It added: “The rocket body was abandoned in orbit and left to return to Earth in an uncontrollable manner.”
Although warnings have been issued previously, it was the first time airspace had been fully closed due to space junk hurtling towards Earth.
Nearly 650 flights were delayed as a result, which experts say could cost the airline industry a lot of money if repeated.
A half-tonne metal ring crash landed on a village in Kenya in late December, still glowing red and hot from its fiery descent.
In April last year, an object thought to be from the massive EP-9 equipment pallet jettisoned from the ISS crashed two floors into a Florida man’s home.
Homeowner Alejandro Otero claimed the cylindrical object nearly hit his son, and later sued Nasa for more than $80,000 in compensation.
Then in June, Nasa admitted that a separate hunk of space debris that fell on a walking trail in North Carolina belonged to a SpaceX capsule.
While there have been no civilian fatalities from falling space debris, experts have suggested this could soon change with the growing number of commercial space launches.
“This is a real serious danger,” former Nasa administrator Sean O’Keefe told The Sun in an interview last year.
“The frequency in which we’ve seen [space] debris crash in Australia and Siberia over the years – fortunately, it’s places that are either not populated or are very remote.
“We’re not gonna get lucky like that every time.”
What is space debris?
Space debris is an umbrella term for any bit of junk, disused equipment and otherwise, that is currently stuck in Earth's orbit.
And it has spiralled into a big problem since the dawn of the space age in the 1950s.
There are nearly 30,000 objects bigger than a softball hurtling a few hundred miles above Earth, ten times faster than a bullet.
It poses huge risks to satellites and the International Space Station (ISS), where crew occasionally have to maneuver out of the way of objects hurtling towards them.
In 2016, a fleck of paint managed to chip a window in the ISS because it was moving at such high speeds in Earth’s orbit.
The problem is, it’s not just a space issue – but Earth’s too.
Objects in space undergo a process called orbital decay, which means they orbit closer to Earth as time goes on.
Debris left in orbits below 600km normally fall back to Earth within several years.
While most space debris burns up on reentry to Earth’s atmosphere – there are some bits that don’t.
This is particularly the case with larger objects, like the EP-9 pallet.
A report by US watchdog, the Federal Aviation Authority, published last year warned that space debris that survived the fiery reentry could kill or injure someone on Earth every two years by 2035.
Bianca Censori backlash over her sheer dress is ridiculous and misogynistic – I wonder if all the criticism is jealousy?
WHEN Bianca Censori dropped her fur coat to reveal a completely see-through mesh dress at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, she sparked a global barrage of abuse.
Many onlookers claimed to be horrified by the flesh-flashing display and the model was swiftly kicked out of the A-list event – along with her proud husband Kanye West.
But others are hailing Bianca, 30, as a feminist icon for daring to bare all.
Here, outspoken campaigner Patsy Stevenson passionately defends Bianca’s right to wear what she wants.
Patsy hit the headlines when she was pinned to the ground during a clash with cops at a vigil for Sarah Everard in 2021 – but was later awarded damages by the Met police who faced criticism for their heavy-handed approach.
PATSY SAYS: I wish people would stop criticising women for their outfit choices.
This is a glamorous red carpet event and Bianca Censori looks absolutely gorgeous.
The backlash against her is ridiculous.
Bianca has a fantastic figure and should be allowed to wear whatever the hell she wants.
None of us should ever have the right to comment on any woman’s clothes or body.
I think that Bianca looks great but this outcry has become a judgement on her character too.
I expect she had gone through a thousand different outfits before deciding on this one, because she wanted to look her best on the red carpet.
And if she feels happy and comfortable in this one, then what an applaudable level of confidence she is showing.
I wonder if one reason for all the criticism is jealousy?
Because it is interesting to me how Bianca is being singled out for this criticism even though there were plenty of other women at the same event who also had a lot of flesh on display.
Paris Hilton also wore a sheer dress, and J-Lo’s dress was plunging at the back and front, yet they’re not facing anything like the same level of criticism.
The attitude of both men and women seems to be – how dare a woman wear such revealing outfits?
It is a form of misogyny when men think they can decide what a woman should and should not wear – but there is also a lack of women sticking up for other women here.
It is 100 per cent unfair.
And it feels to me like there is also some snobbery at play here because Bianca Censori is not considered an artist in the same way as someone like Lady Gaga who is allowed to wear all kinds of outrageous outfits and they are considered art?
The level of respect for so-called artists is higher.
Models don’t garner the same level of respect, which is a horrible stigma when of course they can be just as creative.
They often get a lot of backlash and are hounded for what they wear when in fact they have simply been put in an outfit by a designer.
But the human body can be a creative piece of art in itself, and the outfit becomes part of that expression.
There are long standing systemic issues in our society of people critiquing every aspect of women’s bodies – if a woman has large breasts and is showing cleavage that often becomes an issue that people want to comment on.
Large breasts are seen as more controversial somehow than small ones.
People tend not to comment as much on flatter chests.
Bianca Censori and Kanye West's relationship
Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia
Before her current full-time job, the 30-year-old started a jewellery company called Nylons after leaving high school.
After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master’s degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles.
In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca’s claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram, reportedly saying: “Come and work for me.”
The designer then moved to LA to join his company, Yeezy, as “head of architecture” – and has stayed in this role since November 2020.
WEDDING BELLS
In October 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022.
The couple tied the knot under a “confidential marriage license” in the state of California.
The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document.
The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce.
But distinguishing between breast sizes at all is absolutely ridiculous – they’re just body parts so it really is silly that people should be so obsessed with them like this.
It’s just as silly as policing every aspect of an outfit.
Why does it matter? Your outfit does not affect your decision making.
Bianca and Kanye have been together a long time and she has worn other outfits like this in the past, this is not a new thing for her.
If this is something that Bianca has chosen to wear, then great.
If it turns out that she had not made a conscious decision to wear this outfit then people have a right to be concerned.
But we’re basing that assumption off history.
We know that Kanye has a history of controlling behaviour, his ex wife Kim said on Keeping Up With The Kardashians that he would comment on her outfits, and it’s a conversation that needs to be had if Bianca is uncomfortable – but we do not know that.
If there is a level of coercive control then I hope she seeks help, but that has not been confirmed or denied by either of them.
I hope she has made this decision for herself, and that she feels happy and comfortable.
None of us know what went on behind the scenes.
But if the intention was to cause a stir then it’s Bianca – one and the critics – nil.
Bianca Censori’s naked red carpet stunt is all part of Kanye’s ‘weird, twisted game’... he parades her like a blow-up doll
By Polly Hudson
BIANCA Censori is an intelligent woman.
She has both a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture, and was once a respected member of her profession.
Enter Kanye West.
Now she is reduced to being paraded around like some kind of blow up sex doll, risking being charged with indecent exposure.
What’s most concerning is that Bianca’s outfits have become increasingly risqué and revealing over time, exposing more and more of her body.
Surely being entirely naked is the climax of this warped performance piece, so where will Kanye go from here?
How will he top it for next time?
Demand that Bianca have some of her internal organs removed, and then make her display them on the red carpet, dripping with blood?
Although there were obviously more attention-grabbing aspects of her look on the Grammy’s red carpet last night, it was the expression on her face that was the most chilling.
Of course no-one really knows what the dynamic is between this couple, but all signs seem to point to Bianca being exploited, objectified, and coerced.
As she stood there, fully nude in front of the world, gasps of shock and bursts of laughter clearly audible from all around her, it felt like witnessing abuse – humiliation on a global stage.
The kind of situation where years from now, no-one will be able to understand why this was allowed to happen.
The cold disdain Kanye looked at her with, as she tried so desperately to please him, was extremely disturbing – especially as a lip reader has since revealed he told her to “drop her coat” and “make a scene”, suggesting rather than a pre-arranged stunt he ordered her to do it on the spot, and she instantly complied.
It worked for Britney – can somebody please start a Free Bianca movement?
Her family are said to be worried – duh – but they’re on the other side of the world, in Australia, and this is a grown woman of 30. It’s not like they can order her to come home and ground her when she gets there.
Kanye has tonnes of previous when it comes to controlling the outfits of the women he’s involved.
His ex-wife Kim Kardashian revealed on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that he told her she had “the worst style” when they started dating.
“Our whole trade-off was that if I got rid of my clothes, he’d fill up my closet. But now I’m freaking out. Like, I could literally cry,” she said.
He masterminded every aspect of her appearance, flying all the way to Paris for 24 hours in 2018 so he could re-style her after seeing paparazzi photos of her in an outfit he didn’t like.
Even after they broke up, he didn’t stop.
Distraught Kim explained on her reality show that when she started dressing herself post split, Kanye called her and told her that her career was over after seeing one of the looks she put together on her own.
Kim has stopped discussing her erratic ex, because they share four children.
But the woman he dated for two months after they broke up, Julia Fox, has written about him in her book Down The Drain, and pulls no punches.
She details how she felt like “a prop” and a “show monkey” being used for “a publicity stunt”, which certainly sounds familiar.
She also wrote that it felt like a ‘weird, twisted game’ that left her feeling ‘used’ and ‘dirty’.
Julia now says, “I regret that relationship so much. I hate it! It was only a few weeks but enough to last me a lifetime. I was in probably the most uncomfortable position in my life and that’s saying a lot.”
Last January Kanye attended a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony and was directly asked by a reporter, “if Bianca has her free will. Some people are saying that you’re controlling her.”
West snatched the journalist’s phone, ranting “Why do you feel like it’s okay? I’m a human being… Ask me about my wife, talking about if she’s got free will? Are you crazy? Are you insane?… I’m a legend, do you understand that?… Was that a dumbass, disrespectful question to come ask a grown-ass superhero?”
And what does the woman at the centre of this storm think? How does she respond to allegations that she is being manipulated and dominated?
Hard to say.
I have never heard Bianca Censori say a single word. Have you?
Sadly in this case, it’s hard not to conclude that her silence speaks volumes.
Arsenal held transfer talks over signing forgotten Chelsea flop as Mikel Arteta scrambled to sign striker
ARSENAL reportedly held transfer talks to sign a forgotten Chelsea flop.
The Gunners were on the lookout but failed to sign a striker in the January transfer window.
The club will continue to challenge for the Premier League title with Kai Havertz as the sole striker option.
Mikel Arteta, however, did scramble to find a new striker before the winter window slammed shut.
Despite links to stars such as Benjamin Sesko and Ollie Watkins, the club came close to signing a former Blue.
The Athletic have claimed that Arsenal held talks with the agent of Alvaro Morata during the trip to Girona last week.
The Gunners beat the LaLiga side in the Champions League but took the chance to explore some transfer business.
The club spoke to the representatives of Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia.
The stopper’s agent also represents Alvaro Morata.
Arsenal were believed to be keen on a loan deal for the AC Milan star.

However, the North London outfit were beaten to the Spaniard’s signature by Turkish giants Galatasaray.
Morata, 32, played at Chelsea between 2017 and 2020.
However, he was sent out on loan to Atletico Madrid for his final year after falling out of favour.
Morata netted 24 times in 72 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions.
He joined AC Milan last summer and scored six goals in 25 outings before leaving for Turkey on loan.
The Euros winner posted a sincere goodbye to the Milan fans on social media.
He wrote: “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to wear this shirt.
“Milan is an incredible club, even more so the people who work there. Thank you to everyone.”
I’m a 72-year-old escort & make £3k a month, men as young as 18 ask to hire me and my ‘gift’ paid off my mortgage
A 72-YEAR-OLD woman has revealed how she has paid off her mortgage after ditching her Christian life to become an escort.
Caroline Vee, from the UK, was in her 60s when she had her sexual awakening.
Speaking on This Morning, she revealed how she gave up a life of God after forty years in the church to live out her fantasies.
She said: “In the church, I had become disillusioned because my life was not good, I thought ‘I don’t really believe this anymore.'”
Caroline who was working as a florist at the time had spent forty years of her life dedicated to her religion but it all came to a halt when a 27-year-old rugby player began flirting with her at work.
“I was 57 at the time, we never met but we used to do flirty stuff on the phone,” she explained.
“Then he propositioned me and asked me to come over, I thought it was a joke but then he asked where I was when I didn’t turn up.”
Caroline admits she was ‘too shy’ to meet with him but decided to look on dating sites instead.
There, she was inundated with messages from men as young as 18 who wanted to meet with her for a good time.
But Caroline, who has admitted to sleeping with men in their 20s, says they were too young as they were old enough to be her son.
Finally, she met someone her own age and recalls performing oral sex for the first time.
She admitted that he thought she was ‘very good at it’, and was told she had a ‘gift.’
This Morning’s co-host Ben Shephard revealed it was quite the compliment, and Caroline agreed saying: “It is when you haven’t done anything for 40 years.”
By this point, Caroline was meeting up with men from the site constantly for a bit of fun, as well as participating in swinging parties.
Some of the men she had met had said she should think about escorting so she could get paid and Caroline was keen to look into it.
I couldn’t make that kind of money anywhere else, I’m loving it.
Caroline Vee
“Well if you can get paid for it why not? You’re still meeting the same people and doing the same thing,” she added.
After her account was created, Caroline began paying for her services, and makes around £3,000 a month.
Is sex work legal in the UK?
The exchange of sexual services for money is legal in the UK (apart from in Northern Ireland where it's illegal to pay for sex).
But, these related activities are illegal under the Sexual Offences Act 2003:
- soliciting (trying to get clients) on the street or other public place, including someone in a vehicle
- paying for the services of a sex worker who’s forced or threatened into it
- owning or managing a brothel (any premises which is used by more than one person for sex work)
- pimping (someone who has control over sex workers and the money they earn)
- advertising sexual services, including putting cards in phone boxes
She’s also been able to quit her florist job after sex work paid off her mortgage.
“I’m making £3,000 a month – covering everything, videos, webcam, escorting – I couldn’t make that kind of money anywhere else, I’m loving it, that’s why I want to continue,” Caroline said.
“I’ll carry on as long as I’m able to and I’m providing a lovely service to guys who have all kinds of fantasies.”
She also revealed that there are a lot of younger men who fantasise about being with a gran as they do a better job of helping them than younger women.
“They feel comfortable with us, girls their age can be unhelpful, so they like older ladies because we are relaxed with them and help them,” Caroline claims.
But it hasn’t always been smooth sailing, while she loves her job her family has now disowned her.
Caroline, who has never been married or had children, says her siblings refuse to speak to her after finding out about her escorting role.
Now the sex worker wants to help other mature women feel liberated and wants others to join her.
“I couldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it, I want more older ladies to think ‘I could do that,'” she said.
Viewers have been left stunned by Caroline and many took to the comments section of the clip to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “That’s really sad.”
“Good on ya girl wish I had the body and confidence to do it,” another penned
A third chimed in: “Bless… she seems happy.”
Heartache as body of man & woman discovered in Co Kerry home and gardai ‘investigate all circumstances’

“Results of the post-mortem will determine the exact course of the Garda investigation.”
Doctors Warn Your Dental Habits Could Be Increasing Your Stroke Risk—What to Know
Heart-healthy living includes getting regular exercise, managing stress, limiting alcohol and red meat, practicing good sleep hygiene, and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels. But one practice that’s equally as important yet often overlooked is dental care. New research suggests that certain oral hygiene habits can boost your cardiovascular health, specifically when it comes to stroke risk.
RELATED: This Common Sleep Habit Could Raise Heart Attack and Stroke Risk by 26%, New Study Finds.
Research found that oral hygiene can impact your cardiovascular health.
Much research has been conducted on oral hygiene and cardiovascular health.
Colgate explains it well: "As the Cleveland Clinic reports, research has shown that, if the oral bacteria responsible for gum disease find a way into the bloodstream, they may cause C-reactive protein levels to rise. This elevation can indicate inflammation in the blood vessels and, ultimately, signal an increase in that person's risk of stroke and heart disease."
A new preliminary study presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference indicates that adults can lower their risk of stroke with good oral hygiene. As for which habit (flossing, brushing, or visiting the dentist) has a more significant impact on cardiovascular health, the study’s author analyzed the oral hygiene behaviors of more than 6,000 adults.
"A recent global health report revealed that oral diseases—such as untreated tooth decay and gum disease—affected 3.5 billion people in 2022, making them the most widespread health conditions," said study lead author Souvik Sen, MD, in a press release. "We aimed to determine which oral hygiene behavior—dental flossing, brushing or regular dentist visits—has the greatest impact on stroke prevention."
Daily flossing was linked to lower risks of stroke and irregular heartbeat.
Not flossing can contribute to built-up bacteria and inflammation in and around the gums, increasing your stroke risk, per the study’s findings.
An at-home oral hygiene assessment found that 4,092 of the participants had no stroke prevalence, and 4,050 had no history of AFib (an irregular heartbeat). The common denominator? They all regularly flossed.
Participants were monitored over the course of 25 years, during which time flossing was linked with a 22 percent lower risk of ischemic stroke (when blood flow is cut off to the brain), 44 percent lower risk of cardioembolic stroke (when a blood clot forms in the heart), and 12 percent lower risk of AFib.
"Oral health behaviors are linked to inflammation and artery hardening. Flossing may reduce stroke risk by lowering oral infections and inflammation and encouraging other healthy habits," explained Sen. "Many people have expressed that dental care is costly. Flossing is a healthy habit that is easy to adopt, affordable and accessible everywhere."
However, a 2016 CDC survey found that over one-third of Americans never floss.
"When you're brushing, you're only getting certain surfaces of the tooth," Dee Dee Meevasin, DMD, owner of Dee for Dentist, previously shared with Best Life. "Flossing gets into those crevices where a brush cannot reach—under the gums and between the teeth—to mechanically remove bacteria."

The takeaway:
Routine flossing not only boosts dental health (preventing cavities and gum disease), but your cardiovascular health, too.
Looking towards the future, American Heart Association EPI and Stroke Council member Daniel T. Lackland, DrPH, said he would like to see researchers dive into the correlation between specific dental health practices and other risk factors, including diet, physical activity, nicotine consumption, sleep, blood pressure, body mass, and more. Lackland was not involved in the study.Ніколи б не додумалась, якби не винахідливий друг: як посіяти моркву, щоб вона росла рівно без проріджувань
