Homeowners in Florida recently got a rude awakening when hardware from the International Space Station crashed into their home last month, NASA said in a blog post.

In March 2021, ground controllers with NASA used the International Space Station 's robotic arm to release a cargo pallet containing aging nickel hydride batteries. The hardware released was 5,800 pounds, NASA said.

The Otero family told WINK News the crash made a "tremendous sound" and almost hit their son, who was two rooms over.
