Hmmm…
Look at this mysterious object that washed ashore on Seabrook Island today! What do you think it is?

Looks reasonably sizable. What looks like concrete is said to be a soft foam-like material, presumably an insulation of some kind…. but then since this was found in the sea, perhaps it’s a flotation material. It does somewhat look like the throat of a solid propellant rocket nozzle embedded within the foam, but I can’t immediately place what sort of rocket would put a relatively thin metal and/or fiber throat within a fat mass of low density foam like this. But it does have that burnt look that comes from either re-entry or combustion…
