What happens to the material and high speed shrapnel of Stage-2?

Absolutely NOTHING for you to worry about!

So everyone just relax!

Unless of course... you happen to be a Russian citizen...

In which case... then ya... maybe you should be a little bit worried...


Because... whelp... essentially, pretty much all space debris and objects usually hit Earth as a bright burning light, somewhere above Russia!

As to why pretty much all high speed and dangerous projectiles seem magically attracted to Russian land... and are filmed or photographed in detail by poor panicked Russian drivers or photographers...

is unknown for now...

But ya... scientists and physicists are working upon a solution.

So... yes: for everyone else, aside from the Russians... don't worry about random space debris and junk! You'll be just fine!
