SpaceX rocket weighing 4,500 kg set to strike the Moon at 8,700 km/h
A 4,500-kg piece of a SpaceX rocket is heading for an impact with the Moon, traveling at a speed of 8,700 km/hour. Launched in January 2025, the rocket stage entered a complicated orbit after it lacked sufficient fuel to either head back to Earth or maintain a steady path. Over time, natural forces shifted its course, making a crash into the lunar surface inevitable.
