SpaceX Booster on One-Way Moon Crash | Dallas News
Description
A SpaceX rocket booster, weighing 8,800 pounds, is on a one-way lunar crash course—set to slam into the moon’s surface early Wednesday. Once part of a January 2025 mission carrying two landers (one succeeded, the other didn’t), the booster now drifts on its own cosmic path, nudged by solar flares and gravity. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will capture before-and-after shots, though results may take weeks. Scientists are thrilled—it’s rare for man-made objects to strike the moon, and this impact could stir up dust revealing hidden water ice beneath the surface.
