NASA Images Reveal Crater From SpaceX Rocket Crash on Moon

NASA released before-and-after photos from its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter showing a fresh 60-foot-wide crater on the moon, created when a SpaceX Falcon rocket upper stage crashed on August 5 at 5,400 mph. The impact occurred after the stage drifted for over a year, following its 2025 launch of private moon landers.
