SpaceX Rocket Crashes on the Moon | New York City News
Description
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has captured stunning new images of a SpaceX rocket stage crash site on the moon — a 60-foot-wide crater with butterfly-wing-like streaks revealing fresh lunar material. The January 2025 impact, part of a commercial mission to deliver private landers, marks a pivotal moment as humanity’s footprint grows beyond Earth. This orbiter, which has been circling the moon since 2009 and helped discover water ice in 2009, now documents both planned science and accidental space debris, showing just how deeply we’re embedding ourselves in the cosmos.
