What They're Not Telling You About The Lunar Crash We Are About To Witness

Описание: A derelict SpaceX Falcon 9 stage hits the Moon this Wednesday, August 5, at 6:34 UTC — in full view of Earth's telescopes for the first time in history. But the real story is the last rocket that hit the Moon: in 2022 it left two overlapping craters where physics says one should exist, NASA said the impactor carried large masses at both ends that no manifest accounts for, and the country that most likely owns it still denies it ever crashed. Wednesday's impact is the control experiment that can finally settle the case.

One photograph from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will deliver the verdict — and what it can prove about a denied rocket, an unexplained double crater, and the physics every impact model depends on is the question this briefing takes apart.
