Yeah, I mean to be specific your homeowners' insurance would pay you directly for "falling debris", but then they would go sue SpaceX to get their money back.

  This reminds me of an episode of Jim Henson's TV series Dinosaurs where a space rock hits the Sinclairs' house, and the insurance refuses to pay out. Because they had "meteor" insurance, so their house would only be covered if it was floating in the upper atmosphere at the time of the strike. Instead, the insurance said their house was hit with a meteorite (a meteor that reached the ground), which wasn't covered under their policy.

    They should have argued that it hadn't yet hit the ground when it hit their house.

    It wasn't a meteorite when it hit the house, only when it hit Earth. I know, hit me with the downvotes.

      I think their house was made of earth (rock).
