A discarded SpaceX rocket is on a high-speed collision course with the moon
A SpaceX rocket's upper stage is unintentionally set to collide with the moon at 5,400 mph, creating a crater near Einstein Crater. Scientists will observe the impact to study debris hazards for future lunar missions, with NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and South Korea's Danuri orbiter capturing before-and-after images.
