Agafya update: space debris

The headline of a Siberian Times article announces “Siberian hermit, 75, who ‘lives in 18th century’ refuses to be moved by Space Age” and the byline “Agafya Lykova rejects leaving her remote house even though debris from coming rocket launch could fall dangerously close.” After years of following Agafya’s refusals to leave for lack of food, medical care, need for help in chopping wood and other chores, it hardly seems that she would leave based on a threat of space debris, though she might not realize what space debris is about. The article summarizes her life and how she became a hermit.Includes photos.
