"Moon Collision Course: Rogue Rocket Debris Threatens Lunar Impact. Scientists are sounding the alarm as a large piece of a defunct Falcon 9 rocket, likely a discarded second stage, is on a collision course with the moon. Estimated to be traveling at a staggering 5,000 miles per hour, the rogue debris poses a significant risk of causing damage to the lunar surface. The incident highlights the growing concern over space debris and the need for more effective tracking and removal systems to mitigate the risk of collisions in Earth's orbit and beyond."
A defunct part of a Falcon 9 rocket could slam into the moon at more than 5,000 miles per hour, according to scientists.
