Russian Shepherd Sues Roskosmos

Yep a simple shepherd is sueing the Russian space agency Roskosmos, and the reason why? A chunk of metal nearly 10 feet in length (just over 2,5 metres) from a Russian rocket nearly hit his outdoor toilet next to his home.

Boris Urmatov, the Russian shepherd concerned lives in a tiny village called Kyrlyk and is partially sighted which meant that when he was rudely awoken by something that sounded like an explosion in the middle of the night he didn't notice the rocket parts strewn across his back yard.

It was not until the early hours when the sun had rose that Boris the Shepherd managed to see the smooth egg like casing of the large rocket part sitting on the ground near his beloved outside toilet.

Boris has filed a claim for one million roubles (twenty one thousand two hundred pound) from Roskosmos as compensation for the damage and suffering caused.

Alexander Vorobyov, a spokesman for the Russian space agency Roskosmos "If a court determines that, yes, those are rocket parts, they fell on his land, then for sure he will be compensated. No question about it."
