I almost forgot! Happy Billionaires-Dropping-Shit-On-Canada-From-Orbit Day!!
1 year ago today, a SpaceX Crew Dragon cargo trunk, ejected by the the Axiom 3 private astronaut mission, made an uncontrolled reentry and sprayed potentially lethal debris across Saskatchewan farmland. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/spacex-dropped-space-junk-on-my-neighbors-farm-heres-what-happened-next/
SpaceX has dropped a bunch of other shit from orbit on a bunch of other places since then, so I guess this'll be a recurring "celebration"
