At least most of our space fuel is liquid hydrogen/oxygen. Maybe residue from the solid rocket boosters/////unless there is a catastrophic accident, most of its fuel would be burnt, wouldn't it? What do our smaller rockets use?

Whether on land or in the ocean there is an impact – out of sight does not necessarily mean harmless. If we continue to explore space (and I hope we do) – we will need better ways of getting things into orbit. Maybe we need to seriously start development of the space elevator? I know this is not happening tomorrow – but a NASA study a few years ago proposed it could be done by 2050 if certain basic research is done first.

Our progress into space will be littered with stories like this.

Very little, obviously. It doesn't really sound like a laughing matter.

I wonder about the pros and cons of having this kind of toxic material on land, or in the oceans. At least on land you have a hope of clearing it up; and though material dropping into the ocean may be less likely to harm people directly, the overall consequences long term may be more serious and harder to identify or control.
