SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage to crash into Moon at seven times the speed of sound

The impact will occur on the side of the Moon facing Earth and could raise a cloud of dust and rock fragments that may remain visible through sensitive telescopes for several minutes.

Rocket junk predicted to crash into moon may not be SpaceX’s fault

The rocket launched in 2015 remained in orbit after it disengaged from the observatory. Now, that orbit is setting it on a direct collision course with the Moon.

 A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, with the Crew Dragon capsule, is launched carrying three NASA and one ESA astronauts on a mission to the International Space Station at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, US, November 10, 2021.
