SpaceX employees visit Saskatchewan farm to collect company's fallen space junk

Pieces of a SpaceX craft landed on Barry Sawchuck's property in late February. "At the end of it all, it belonged to somebody," Sawhuck reflected. He says the experience was educational but he's happy to put it behind him. Two men, who confirmed they were from SpaceX arrived to take away the debris but remained tight lipped about it.

Univeristy of Regina associate professor of astrology, Samantha Lawler said there are real dangers with falling space junk. "It's crazy and it just shows how common this is becoming," Lawler said. "That there will be a lot more space junk falling like this, it will cause damage, it will cause death and it needs to be better regulated."

Sawchuck wouldn't say how much, but he did get paid for returning the space junk. He plans to put those funds towards a rink in Ituna, Saskatchewan where he says Elon Musk is welcome anytime. Moosa Imran has more.
