> Why is getting killed by space debris is less pleasant than getting killed by a meteorite? In terms of liability, we (society) usually make a distinction between nature and events produced by humans. If a hurricane falls a tree and it collapses your house, that's just nature. If someone is cutting that tree and they do it wrong and it collapses your house, you'd hope they are liable.
