ITUNA, Sask. -- Two men with SpaceX have descended on a Saskatchewan
farm to retrieve cosmic junk that fell earlier this year from one of
its spacecrafts.

They pulled up to the farm near Ituna in a moving truck then lugged
the debris into the back.

The men didn't give their names but confirmed they work for SpaceX, a
company founded by entrepreneur Elon Musk.

They didn't say why the pieces failed to burn up before they slammed
into the field.

They also didn't say where they were taking the wreckage and what
SpaceX plans to do with it.

The retrieval comes months after farmer Barry Sawchuk found the
debris and was contacted by the company for its return.

Sawchuk says SpaceX has paid him an undisclosed amount of money to
get the debris back.

He says he plans to use the money to help fund a new rink in the
community northeast of Regina.
