SpaceX Falcon 9-raket zal mogelijk tegen hoge snelheid op maan crashen

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket upper stage, stranded in orbit since January 2025, is predicted to crash into the Moon's Einstein crater on August 5 at 5,400 mph, according to astronomer Bill Gray's tracking software. The rocket was meant to return to Earth after launching two commercial lunar landers but became trapped in a highly elliptical orbit. The impact, occurring at Mach 7 speed, highlights concerns about space debris management in the growing commercial space industry.
