Help I've fallen and I can't get up


I went on history.com, the history channels website, to watch all of the episodes of “The Universe.” The episode I felt the most compelling was the one titled “It Fell From Space.” I found this one compelling because I have always wondered that because of the Earth's gravitational pull, and due to the fact that objects in space probably don't stay there forever where do they go? I have always been interested in space since I was a little girl. I live in the middle of no where so you can see all of the stars and constellations. I also went to Florida to visit the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. It was amazing to be up close to rockets that actually were in outer space! There was even a place where you could sit inside replicas of the inside of rockets to see how small some are. I am tiny so it was easy for me but my grandparents had a hard time. Anyways back to the episode it intrigued me because I have always wanted to see a piece of something that has come out of space up close. The show discussed how it can be very dangerous once an object comes into our atmosphere because it is traveling so fast and a small piece could easily kill someone. It showed a picture of an asteroid that went into a persons house. That intrigued me because I don't know if my home insurance covers asteroid damage. It was really interesting to watch this episode and the other episodes and to think about the Universe in depth more. I will admit I like that it was episodes instead of having to read it because I found the episodes to be more exciting. I think it would be cool to find an object that has fallen out of space.
