A Visit from a Rocket

526675_900 This would be one-photo posting however, I find it particular to mention here. During the last few days there is a flooding ongoing in Altai region of Russia. Hundreds or even thousands of houses flooded and people suffer there, however this post is not about the flooding itself but rather an event happened in one village of the affected region. As news outlets mention during the recent flooding event the villagers were pretty shocked to find in the morning that their local river has brought a part of space rocket to their small place located in the middle of the wilderness. This piece of a rocket you can see on the photo above. It’s not clear where did the river has got this from, however it is probably a piece of a space mission that felt on the ground during the launch and was not recovered and recycled timely. So it was probably staying somewhere in the forest until the flooding happened and the raised water levels made the hardware float and move down the slopes of the Altai mountains towards this village where it was met with great amazement: it’s not everyday your village is being visited by a space rocket, coming in by itself.
