A large contraption parachuted to the ground at a farm in Merrill, Mi., this morning.
One of the companies responsible for the space junk has already come to the farm to pick it up.
...Outside, with a closer look, they found a four-legged object with an aluminum foil-wrapped box. The top of the conglomeration had what appeared to be solar panels. Inside the box were two large cameras and one Samsung cell phone, according to Nancy Welke.
...At nearly the same time, a large balloon came down onto a power line in Wheeler, Mi., a few miles away. Welke says power had to be shut off in the area while crews removed the popped balloon from the power line .
Staff from a company called Raven Industries came to pick up the space contraption.
Samsung just this week launched a program called Space Selfie. According to the Samsung website, the idea is for people to upload their picture and a space photo of Earth will be merged with their photo. The photo will then be sent back to the original uploader.

He paid for the farm from the settlement of the last space junk that landed there.
Has he painted the roof of his barn: Space Junk , Land Here. Lemonade and Homemade Pie?

Thanks. Didn’t know that. We weren’t around young horses and stallions when my daughter was riding.
I see that type of fencing here in IN quite a bit. For both cattle and horses.
The nicer horse farms use all wooden slat, but those take a lot of upkeep
Didn’t satellites used to parachute film back to earth?
Impressive choice of materials.
From my perspective, it appears they went to Home Depot for thin-wall conduit(?) and misc parts?
Why legs and feet?
For a balloon launch, plastic milk crates and nothing more.
Probably crashed due too overweight.
Not to mention that it’s hard to make it into space riding a balloon. You can get pretty high up, but not above the atmosphere (i.e., into space)...at least that was the case before the Left got a hold of physics books.
No need to send a submarine with a mysterious British guy and his Russian pal.
Try and find an actual picture of a satellite and not some 'rendering' or CGI creation.
Sat phones or Sat TV? Why are cell towers needed then?
Why are dishes pointed towards the nearest tower instead of straight up?
Things that make you go...Hmmmmm.
When I was a kid, we used to watch the Echo scroll across the early evening sky.

Yes, the Corona spysats did that. I just toured the National Air and Space Museum in Washingon, DC and they have a fantastic exhibit on the development of aerial spy photography from the U2 to the SR-71 to spy satellites. The film path on the Corona satellites was so complex I'm surprised it operated reliably.

So *that's* what the noise was. Knocked over the outhouse. Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
