Elon couldn’t even make his own crater. He had go damage someone else’s…

Slamming a rocket into the moon is the "Dudes Rock!" Of science.

Is this vandalism?

It's a start! 💥🌙

Moron Crater

Please forgive me. I trust your account, but there’s so much fake AI stuff out there……it’s hard to tell sometimes. I do enjoy your posts. Thank you

I'd say "make them go pick it up" except that (a) they'll never have that capability and (b) if they did they'd use it to make an even bigger mess. So let's drop an equivalent object on SpaceX HQ instead.

Hit so hard that it changed the phase angle!

The Moon has a growing # of small human made craters. Besides at least 20 probes that were designed as impactors, or orbiters which were de orbited, Apollo Saturn V third stages were deliberately crashed into the Moon 4 times. Some day these will be interesting places to examine and collect scraps.

This raises a curious question I just realized I don't know the answer too, but what's the deepest sample of lunar regolith we have? I can't imagine we have something from 3m down. Time to open like 15 wikipedia tabs! 😅
