The SpaceX Falcon Lunar Crash Is a Warning for Moon Bases

The risk of more debris hitting the moon is on the rise as the space race heats up.

'We know precisely where and when the collision will occur.'

The impact will occur on the side of the Moon facing Earth and could raise a cloud of dust and rock fragments that may remain visible through sensitive telescopes for several minutes.

A defunct part of a Falcon 9 rocket could slam into the moon at more than 5,000 miles per hour, according to scientists.
