Episode Details

A SpaceX rocket stage, parked in space for over a year, slammed into the moon at 5,400 mph on August 5th—creating a new 60-foot-wide crater with butterfly-wing-like streaks of exposed rock and lunar soil. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured the first clear images after six days of waiting, while South Korea’s Danuri spacecraft arrived first.
