If it is all US property, that means the US government is liable for any damage caused by its junk falling on a person, or on a house, or a car. It must be a lawyers’ paradise. If any US space junk falls on a urbanized area like LA or Chicago, it can cost NASSA some big bucks because of NASSA’s comments. The ambulance chasers will not sleep tonight.
