SpaceX Debris Discovered in North Carolina Mountains

A piece of space debris from a SpaceX Dragon capsule, likely from the Crew-7 mission, was discovered near Canton, North Carolina. The debris, found by a groundskeeper at a luxury camping site, consisted of shredded carbon fiber and scorched metal. Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell confirmed it likely came from the Dragon's trunk, which reentered Earth's atmosphere over the area. Despite the rarity of such events, the Glamping Collective plans to display the debris on the trail where it was found.
