One of Elon Musk's discarded SpaceX rockets crashes into the MOON at 5,400mph - producing a blast equivalent to 15,000 sticks of dynamite and carving out a brand new crater

One of Elon Musk's discarded SpaceX rockets has crashed into the moon's surface at 5,400 miles per hour (8,690 km/h). The rocket struck near the Einstein Crater, on the moon's western edge facing Earth. Scientists estimate that its impact produced a blast equivalent to 15,000 sticks of dynamite, or three tonnes of TNT. Astronomers expect that the impact will carve a crater into the lunar surface roughly 27m across and five metres deep. One of Elon Musk's discarded SpaceX rockets has crashed into the moon.
