A spent SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage is believed to have struck the far side of the Moon. The four-tonne booster, originally launched in 2015 to deploy an observation satellite, spent seven years in a chaotic orbit before gravitational forces directed it into the lunar surface. NASA is preparing to locate and examine the resulting impact crater using the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Scientists expect the event to offer valuable data regarding lunar soil characteristics and impact mechanics.
- A spent SpaceX rocket booster collided with the far side of the Moon after drifting in space for seven years.
- The four-tonne rocket stage was originally launched in 2015 to deliver a climate monitoring satellite into orbit.
- NASA plans to use the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to locate the impact site and image the newly formed crater.
- Researchers intend to study the crater to gain clearer insights into the Moon’s subsurface geology and composition.

First
This gonna be a problem for NASA then
As a reference…
SpaceX has lost 50% of its value in the last 5 weeks
Leave the Moon alone, we're already destroying the Earth, why destroy the moon too .✌️
Good! The moon has been making lunatics (emotional headbangers) out of many of us human beings for millennia. Ever since it appeared about 4000 years ago as a physical manifestation of our inner subconscious mind (manifest). As within, so without. Best wishes 🙏
Please let Elon have been aboard…
What the heck!!
So has your brains😅😂😂
Somehow, this news increased SPCX stock value by 10 percent from yesterday
There’s something slightly disturbing about a rocket collision right now… did The Simpson’s predict this?
Absolute hogwash, how people fall for this is mind-boggling
Wow they have interplanetary ballistic missiles now 😂
I m sure I saw something saying that they were planning to do this on purpose .
Moon is some alien megastructure. We shouldn't truffle with it.
Whoops! And Elon expects to reach Mars!😂
