Original: FAA will accept more risk to aircraft from space debris under new policy

Under the change, the agency will tolerate increased chances of debris strikes on planes, a shift with implications for commercial aviation and the growing volume of rocket launches and reentering spacecraft.

Why now: Rising launch activity and reentering rockets are raising safety concerns for commercial aviation.
