The test was a key milestone for the commercial company safely sending NASA astronauts back to the International Space Station.​​

During the January test, the un-crewed Dragon capsule launched away from the Falcon 9 rocket, which was about to intentionally break apart and explode.

Minutes later, the first drogue chutes deployed, slowing the capsule's descent.

It set the table for four more parachutes to deploy, guiding the Dragon to a safe ocean landing.

Space X expected some of the rocket debris they didn't collect to potentially wash ashore.

But now, a social media post shows the drogue chutes and a piece of the capsule was found by someone.

“I know Space X would like those materials back so that can help them insure crew safety for manned spaceflight,” said Kimberly Prosser, Brevard County Emergency Management Director.

Space X has a debris recovery hotline, for people who find anything to report. The number is 1-866-623-0234.

They ask that the debris not be handled for safety reasons.
