That's not great, especially since SpaceX apparently expected the component to burn up in the atmosphere. Given there are thousands of them up there, and all must re-enter over the next decade or so, that's a lot of potential debris impacts on the ground.

The debris was traced by SpaceX engineers to a specific satellite and part – a modem enclosure lid of the backhaul antenna on a Starlink direct-to-cell satellite. This part was predicted to fully demise by both the NASA and ESA tools and is the only known Starlink fragment to have not done so.&quot;</i>

They should get some sort of compensation, even if no one was injured.
