US family sues NASA for $80k in damages after space debris hits home

80k feels like it’s in the “just settle up and throw in some extra for goodwill” territory for a large agency.

If space debris hit my home, I think I'd build an exhibit around it, put it up on Google Maps, and charge admission. Real space junk! You can touch it!

Why are they having to sue? Surely there’s a “you owe me money” form somewhere on NASAs website.
