A Russian shepherd is suing his country's space agency after a 10-foot-long chunk of metal from a rocket nearly hit his outdoor toilet.
Boris Urmatov wants £21,200 in damages from the Roskosmos agency as the piece from the rocket fell from the air.
His sister Marina said: "Something woke him up in the night, like something exploded. Since he's visually handicapped he didn't notice the fallen rocket parts "In the morning in front of the shepherd hut he saw this enormous metal casing, as smooth as an egg. It nearly crushed the outhouse." Roskosmos said it warned residents when a launch was scheduled, and in a history stretching back over 50 years and 400 rockets, only a few space-bound rocket parts had fallen outside the designated areas.
