NASA has released before-and-after images showing the crater a discarded SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage carved into the lunar surface after slamming into the Moon at 5,400 mph, raising fresh concerns about space debris as crewed missions approach. The school-bus-sized upper stage hit the Moon on August 5, striking with the force of three tonnes of TNT. One week later, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured the aftermath from roughly 60 miles above the surface: a crater approximately 60 feet wide and less than 10 feet deep, ringed by dark and bright streaks fanning outward in a butterfly-wing pattern. NASA released the photos on Tuesday, offering the clearest look yet at what happens when human hardware collides with the Moon at high…Open
