SpaceX Rocket Crashes Into Moon
A discarded SpaceX rocket intentionally slammed into the moon on Wednesday, creating a crater and sending up a plume of dust and rubble. The impact, at 5,400 mph (8,700 kph), was near Einstein Crater on the moon’s sunlit western limb. While scientists are not too concerned about this particular piece of space junk, it highlights the growing threat as more and more items cram into orbit.5 sourcesSee all sources
