Moonbound Mayhem: The Unplanned Crash That Could Shed Light on Lunar Exploration A spent SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage is hurtling towards its demise on the moon's surface, with a planned impact set to occur on August 5 at 6:34 am UTC.
This collision has garnered significant attention among astronomers and space enthusiasts. The Falcon 9 upper stage is expected to hit the moon's sunlit western limb near Einstein crater at a speed of over 5,400 mph.
