Someone posted on Twitter a GIF about object J002E3, which nearly collided with Earth in 2003, and which was initially thought to be an asteroid. Later it proved to have been a part of a rocket.

Here is its trajectory...

... and the Wiki link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J002E3

I didn't think much of it till I remembered that during all that "dance" around the Earth-Moon orbits, I was job hunting, or better said, I was having a really hard time finding a job. Probably everyone in the U.S. was affected at the time, but interestingly enough, as soon as the object left Earth's orbit, I got a job.
