A couple in New York, United States pulled out a safe which had around $100,000 in cash out of a lake while they were “magnet fishing”. The couple found the safe at the bottom of the lake in Corona Park.&nbsp;

<h2>What did they find?</h2>

The couple, James Kane and Barbie Agostini, in an interview with NY1, spoke about the finding and how they pulled the safe after tossing a strong magnet attached with a line into a lake in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, on Friday (May 31) afternoon.&nbsp;

Once the safe was pulled out of the water, according to the couple, they managed to open it and found approximately $100,000 in bundles of $100 bills. However, the money was damaged due to water.&nbsp;

“It was two stacks of freaking hundreds. Big stacks,” Kane told NY1. He also told the media outlet that this wasn’t the first safe&nbsp;they had found. “We have found plenty of safes before,” he said.&nbsp;

Kane added, “And then I saw the numbers and thought: ‘This is not possible.’” Unfortunately, the notes were “soaking wet, pretty much destroyed,” he said.&nbsp;

The couple&nbsp;called the New York Police Department (NYPD) to avoid any legal trouble over their discovery. The call&nbsp;led a number of officers to show up just to check out the bizarre call that had come over the radio.&nbsp;

The NYPD personnel said they had never seen anything like it. Agostini said that since there were no IDs or a way to find the owner of the safe, the police “were like ‘well, congratulations!’”

“I guess the finders keepers rule worked for us,” Kane said.&nbsp;

<h2>‘Poor man’s treasure hunting’</h2>

During the interview, Kane explained that he had always wanted to be a treasure hunter so when the couple was bored during the Covid lockdown, they found there was something called magnet fishing.&nbsp;

Magnet fishing is essentially trailing a line with a strong magnet through lakes and rivers to see what they can find.&nbsp;

Kane called the hobby “the poor man’s treasure hunting".

The couple said they’ve never found anything like this, saying that they have previously&nbsp; pulled out&nbsp;items such as old guns, World War II grenades, a full-sized motorcycle, foreign coins, and jewellery.

New York couple finds safe with $100,000 cash while ‘magnet fishing’

Japan has successfully launched a spacecraft designed to inspect and potentially remove man-made space debris from around the Earth, said a statement from Astroscale Japan on Monday. 
 
The Active Debris Removal has been launched by Astroscale-Japan (ADRAS-J). As per an AFP news agency report, it will rendezvous with and examine a Japanese H2A rocket remnant that has been in space for 15 years. The H2A rocket body, about the size of a bus, was launched by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in 2009. Its precise location and orbital position are not known.

<h2>Debris removal</h2>

Launched from New Zealand, the ADRAS-J spacecraft has already made contact and is ready to begin operations, said project manager Eijiro Atarashi in a statement.

Using observation data from Earth, the estimated location of the H2A rocket body will be determined, and ADRAS-J will approach it "from a safe distance" to gather images and assess its condition and movements.

Selected by JAXA for its debris removal programme, ADRAS-J, as per Astroscale is the first spacecraft of its kind, which aims to remove large debris of Japanese origin in collaboration with private companies.

<h2>Space debris</h2>

As per the European Space Agency (ESA) estimates, there are around one million pieces of debris larger than a centimetre in orbit. These pieces of debris, which are big enough to "disable a spacecraft" pose a big threat.

The build-up of space debris, including used satellites and rocket parts, has been a growing concern since the space age began. Proposed solutions include using lasers to push debris into new orbits and Astroscale's space "tow-truck," which employs a magnet to collect and move out-of-service satellites.

The ADRAS-J mission follows Japan's successful launch of its new flagship H3 rocket on Saturday, after years of delays and previous failed attempts. Additionally, Japan achieved a successful, albeit slightly off-kilter, unmanned probe landing on the Moon last month, making it the fifth country to accomplish a "soft" lunar landing.
