SpaceX Moon crash/space tech moment

On August 5, 2026, a SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage collided with the Moon at approximately 2:35 a.m. EDT, traveling at 5,400 mph. This event, confirmed by NASA and independent astronomers, is expected to create a crater about 60 feet wide and offers a unique opportunity for scientists to study the impact of artificial objects on the lunar surface.
