Scientists are certain a wayward SpaceX rocket slammed into the moon as predictedA discarded piece of the Falcon 9 rocket is believed to have collided with the moon at 5,400 miles per hour early Wednesday morning. A SpaceX rocket that launched a pair of lunar landers slammed into the moon as predicted on Wednesday after drifting off course for the past year, scientists reported. In 2022, a Chinese rocket unintentionally hit the moon following a lunar mission, and many more stray rocket pieces likely struck the moon in decades past without scientists' knowledge. Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin will provide the lunar landers for NASA's Artemis astronauts. "Things are going to get a lot busier near the moon," McDowell said.
