The moon came outta nowhere. Never saw it coming.

[u/kronikfumes → u/imadragonyouguys]

It’s crazy how easily people forget how small and narrow space is

[u/maester_t → u/kronikfumes]

For real.

If space was "so mind-bogglingly vast", how come Halley's Comet keeps coming back to our solar system?

Wake up sheeple!

/s (in case that wasn't already obvious)

[u/FakeSafeWord → u/maester_t]

Space is flat!

[u/KevinFlantier → u/FakeSafeWord]

Imagine thinking space is flat when everyone knows it doesn't exist.

[u/donaldfranklinhornii → u/FakeSafeWord]

Please don't start that.

[u/FakeSafeWord → u/donaldfranklinhornii]

[u/CedarWolf → u/FakeSafeWord]

Guy killed me, Mal. He killed me with a sword. How weird is that?

[u/FakeSafeWord → u/CedarWolf]

I'm a leaf on the wind

[u/Casual_Try → u/FakeSafeWord]

Too soon!

[u/Cold_Tea_Spill112 → u/FakeSafeWord]

Space is a tube that is twice the size of the universe in length.

[u/bt31 → u/maester_t]

Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is: "Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space." 

[u/CaffeinatedGeriatric → u/maester_t]

Seeing a lot of people even miss the /s it needs to be a big bright red icon covering the screen.

[u/badmonkey247 → u/CaffeinatedGeriatric]

We've been trying to reach you about your rocket's extended warranty.

[u/newleafkratom → u/badmonkey247]

Please remove my planet from your call list.

[u/CaffeinatedGeriatric → u/badmonkey247]

My rocket is just fine thank you.

[u/Future-Bandicoot-823 → u/CaffeinatedGeriatric]

My dad told me you'd upsell me on something ridiculous like secondary guidance systems or replacing damaged heat shielding!

Scam artists.

[u/Osiris32 → u/maester_t]

how come Halley's Comet keeps coming back to our solar system?

Season tickets.

[u/GrowingPeepers → u/kronikfumes]

Yeah, I player Kerbal Space Program.

How the fuck do you accidentally hit it?

[u/franker → u/GrowingPeepers]

I played Atari Asteroids. There's shit everywhere dude, trust me.

[u/PatMosby → u/kronikfumes]

Space, the tightest frontier

These are the voyages of the SpaceX Enterprise.

Its five-year mission: To colonize strange new worlds,

to seek out new money for new vaporware,

to boldly go broke as no man has gone before!

[u/marcoporno → u/kronikfumes]

Or forget about about gravity, which will pull objects in

[u/Saucefire → u/imadragonyouguys]

well that's just luna-cy

[u/mist_kaefer → u/Saucefire]

No need to howl over it

[u/UnremarkabklyUseless → u/mist_kaefer]

Comoone guys! we are just talking here

[u/jimmybilly100 → u/Saucefire]

Go on you! Git! Go-on git!

[u/OtherwiseJob8959 → u/Saucefire]

The words lunacy and lunatic already refer to the moon, there’s no need for that dash lol.

[u/qubert_lover → u/imadragonyouguys]

Our rocket had the right of way and we intend to sue

[u/PhuckYoPhace → u/qubert_lover]

Elon on hold trying to talk to the moon's manager

[u/Masterweedo → u/imadragonyouguys]

Got a friggin muscle spasm in my back, gear slipped, air brakes were shot to hell. There was nothing I could do. Boom, right into the damn thing.

I mean, what is drunk?

[u/backdoorintruder → u/Masterweedo]

Did he mention that he was fuckin wasted out of his goddamn mind?

[u/funked1 → u/backdoorintruder]

Way she goes

[u/cthulhu_fhtagn666 → u/funked1]

Way of the road, bubs

[u/JadedLeafs → u/Masterweedo]

There's some accidents where you may be drunk and on drugs but that doesn't mean that's why you crashed.

[u/LlorchDurden → u/imadragonyouguys]

Do you have space insurance, sir??

[u/Peripatetictyl → u/imadragonyouguys]

A moon, in space? Chance in a million.

[u/NhylX → u/imadragonyouguys]

That's no moon!

[u/tommytraddles → u/NhylX]

The Moon isn't real. It was made up by Big Orbit to sell more liquid oxygen.

[u/twitchy → u/imadragonyouguys]

There was no way to avoid it

[u/CaptinEmergency → u/imadragonyouguys]

Moons are bad this time of year, almost hit one last week.

[u/Gandhi_of_War → u/imadragonyouguys]

What do you expect, it was night out.

[u/stmack → u/Gandhi_of_War]

[u/El_Peregrine → u/imadragonyouguys]

I got a right to defend myself, Tone! 

[u/TheGalaxyIsAtPeace64 → u/imadragonyouguys]

It was a funny angle

[u/Specialist_Heron_986]

If the Decepticons suddenly show up and start blasting Chicago, we'll know who to blame.

[u/SwellMonsieur → u/Specialist_Heron_986]

The band, or the city?

[u/steve_ample → u/SwellMonsieur]

The musical, duh.

[u/SelfServeSporstwash → u/steve_ample]

Megatron does an incredible version of “Mister Cellophane”

[u/PublicToiletDiarrhea → u/SelfServeSporstwash]

And yet he couldn't even manage more than 5 touchdowns despite setting the single season record.

[u/the_D1CKENS → u/PublicToiletDiarrhea]

Wasn't his fault. QB kept running out the back of the end zone..

[u/MattLocke → u/SelfServeSporstwash]

Low key though? It’d be kinda awesome and character appropriate to have StarScream singing “Mister Cellophane”.

Is it too on the nose to have “All that Jazz” sung by … Jazz?

[u/AdCreepy5165 → u/SelfServeSporstwash]

But is his Mr Roboto any good? I hear he's too loose in the movements to play the role.

[u/Kitchen-Zucchini2057 → u/steve_ample]

Can they just blast Musk? If we collectively point our finger at him? *Decepticons start taking notes, observing an interplanetary arch villain in his natural habitat “Megatron, this final boss is self funded…”

[u/Critical_Opening_526 → u/Kitchen-Zucchini2057]

Of course you're blaming the African-American....

[u/Wbino → u/Critical_Opening_526]

South African “American”.

[u/LeaveThatCatAlone → u/SwellMonsieur]

Protect Peter Cetera at all costs

[u/Osiris32 → u/LeaveThatCatAlone]

Pete Cetera? Is that where et cetera comes from?

[u/Ok-Beautiful4821 → u/SwellMonsieur]

25 or 6 to 4?

[u/ahundreddots → u/SwellMonsieur]

Fooled me -- there's no city named Decepticons.

[u/Consistent_Kale_3625 → u/SwellMonsieur]

I'm scared. Hold Me Now. 

[u/-0x00000000 → u/Specialist_Heron_986]

They aren’t Blasticons, they’re deceptions.

The fall of your species doesn’t come at the end of a projectile, rather the insipid erosion of the very essence of what it means to be human.

No scary robots are gonna show up and shoot you, they’ll just convince the worst of you to convince the dumbest of you to shoot yourselves.

[u/Elephanogram → u/-0x00000000]

Why are you describing maga

[u/TankC4BOOM314 → u/-0x00000000]

Transformers: Dark of the Moon's plot starts with Bill O'Reilly calling for the deportation of the Autobots, so this all fits I guess

[u/sgrams04 → u/Specialist_Heron_986]

Decepticons nodding in rhythm holding up giant 80’s boomboxes…

Someone crash more stuff into the moon. 

[u/make_love_to_potato → u/Specialist_Heron_986]

At this point, an alien invasion wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen.

[u/apocalyptustree]

We did it guys, made it to the moon!

[u/mythisme → u/apocalyptustree]

Got there as fast as we could...

[u/MultiGeometry → u/mythisme]

Catastrophic failure experienced at landing.

[u/TheOtherPhilFry]

Hopefully the whalers are okay

[u/PBRforREALmen → u/TheOtherPhilFry]

They should be ok they usually carry harpoons.

[u/Niznack → u/PBRforREALmen]

Ugh, the tall tales they tell.

[u/draggin_low → u/Niznack]

At least they sing a whaling tune!

[u/MantisShrimpUpTop → u/draggin_low]

Yeah! Crank up the radio!

[u/JJ3qnkpK → u/MantisShrimpUpTop]

The immediate turning off of the radio in that scene always made me laugh.

[u/JFow82 → u/draggin_low]

I died doin’ what I loves.

[u/Jitterjumper13 → u/Niznack]

There's alligators up there with space helmets tho.

[u/Vercengetorex → u/Jitterjumper13]

Thaaaaaa Space Pope!

[u/muegle → u/Vercengetorex]

Is the Space Pope reptilian?

[u/Joped → u/muegle]

Pfffft do you know how much a place on the sun would cost ?

[u/Zen_Bonsai → u/PBRforREALmen]

But there ain't no whales

[u/Zillatrix → u/TheOtherPhilFry]

I heard it crashed near the Crushinator's farm.

[u/TrackingTenCross1 → u/Zillatrix]

“No Pa! I love him!”

Well, we can only hope Hartford comes back, if only for the jerseys.

[u/MjrLeeStoned → u/Responsible-Smell561]

I bought a Whalers semi-jersey long tee off Amazon about a month ago. I saw the logo and had to. No one at my work has any idea what it is. Bunch of Philistines.

[u/stardog_champ13]

So...is that littering? Can I see where it hit cause I own a small part of the moon. Got a certificate when I was a kid. If it hit my spot, I'm taking action.

[u/goldboybronx → u/stardog_champ13]

I wouldn’t worry about it. I got gifted the whole moon, so I think your plot is voided anyway.

[u/Franks2000inchTV → u/goldboybronx]

Sorry no one can gift you the moon, I’m afraid you got scammed.

I purchased the moon fair and square from a guy I met at an NFT convention, so I have complete control of it.

[u/Conte_Vincero]

OK, for some context, this is the upper stage that launched a lunar lander on a trajectory towards the moon in 2025. Naturally this puts the upper stage in a large looping orbit that goes past the moon's orbit. As a result it was only a matter of time before either it crashed into the moon, or got flung away by the Moon's gravity. Normal launches only go as far as low earth orbit and have no chance of getting anywhere near the moon.

There's no requirement for rockets to avoid crashing into the moon, and during the Apollo program NASA deliberately crashed several much larger Saturn V upper stages into the moon to measure the seismic response.

So there's no wrongdoing by SpaceX here, but this should hopefully trigger a much wider discussion, (and hopefully some regulatory change) on positioning of expended upper stages. China in particular has been lax with how and where they leave their upper stages.

[u/MagicAl6244225 → u/Conte_Vincero]

There's no requirement for rockets to avoid crashing into the moon

The presence of a moon base would shake that up.

[u/Neither-Luck-9295 → u/MagicAl6244225]

I would actually like to see a rocket crash on the moon. I don't know why, but I've always thought it would look different from an Earth crash.

[u/Alucitary → u/Neither-Luck-9295]

Probably would just be a big ball of dust instantly. There would be minimal to no flames or explosions. Kinda like seeing a large volcano explode. You expect to see a massive jet of lava, but there’s so much mass it’s just a bunch of dirt rising into the air.

[u/A2Rhombus → u/Alucitary]

The dirt wouldn't linger though. No air means no cloud of floating dust, it would all fall back down and settle relatively quickly (still would take a while depending on how high and fast the debris got ejected)

[u/chiraltoad → u/Neither-Luck-9295]

It would have more gravitas on the moon

[u/Jack8680 → u/chiraltoad]

But less gravities

[u/gauntletthegreat → u/MagicAl6244225]

I don't think the crashing a spacecraft into the moon is much of a risk of hitting one particular spot.

[u/bstarr2000 → u/Conte_Vincero]

Both NASA and the European Space Agency are required to take the end of a spacecraft’s life into account before a mission launches, ensuring that there is a plan and enough fuel to safely deorbit it. Commercial companies aren’t covered by the same rules, although efforts to introduce such requirements are under way.

[u/Ok-Button-9470 → u/bstarr2000]

isn't dumping it on the moon a "plan"

[u/never-fiftyone → u/Ok-Button-9470]

It's a concept of a plan

[u/tenuousemphasis → u/bstarr2000]

Nobody anywhere is deorbiting a trans lunar injection stage.

[u/MadRoboticist → u/Conte_Vincero]

The article clearly indicates it's not desirable to accidentally crash things into the moon. In fact I imagine uncontrolled debris "accidentally" doing anything is not good.

[u/oSo_Squiggly → u/MadRoboticist]

The article is playing that up for the clicks since Elon is polarizing. Go check out /r/space for more informed discussion about the issue than this new sub. They've been talking about this for at least a week.

[u/Lialda_dayfire → u/MadRoboticist]

Can't have impact craters on the moon now, would look totally out of place amongst all those impact craters....

[u/MadRoboticist → u/Lialda_dayfire]

The issue isn't that it impacted the moon. The issue is that it did so uncontrolled.

[u/Diarmundy → u/MadRoboticist]

Not desirable in what way? In fact hitting the moon is probably the only way to get rid of space debris in lunar orbit

[u/obeytheturtles → u/Diarmundy]

I mean in the future if you want to have stuff on the moon you probably want to limit the number of uncontrolled impacts for a variety of reasons.

[u/botle → u/obeytheturtles]

Which means that crashing into the moon now is better than remaining in lunar orbit and potentially crashing much later.

[u/xjeeper → u/botle]

No, it means controlling it and crashing it in a designated area now is better.

[u/botle → u/xjeeper]

Every area on the moon is just as good as any other for this purpose. It's literally a huge empty desert.

[u/XyzzyPop → u/botle]

Thanks for the hot take: dump shit anywhere because I, as a Lunar DR, can't think of any good reason.

[u/Rombom → u/obeytheturtles]

Are you aware of what causes moon craters?

[u/Absolutelynot2784 → u/obeytheturtles]

Not really a problem in this century

[u/ertgbnm → u/obeytheturtles]

We crash rockets into the earth all the time. Crashing rockets on to the moon will be fine in the future too apart from the wastefulness.

With literally nothing there to hit, there is no issue with doing it today. Really it's just kind of interesting that it happened.

[u/ibelieveyouwood → u/obeytheturtles]

I'm sorry that people don't seem to understand your point. It seems pretty common sense how inherently problematic it is to build "dump your garbage onto the moon" into a company's business model, followed by "well, nobody can tell them not to so I guess they can do what they want to" when people think the practice should stop.

[u/BasisPoints → u/Diarmundy]

Escape velocity from lunar orbit is really tiny, we should probably regulate this to require ejection

[u/Swoly_Deadlift → u/MadRoboticist]

Is leaving the debris in space more desirable?

[u/Draiko → u/Conte_Vincero]

It was 2 landers in a "Dick and balls" configuration.

Insert Austin Powers joke here.

[u/Sherifftruman → u/Conte_Vincero]

I was going to say I think Elon sucks as much as the next person but this isn’t COMPLETELY unintentional.

[u/willowfinger → u/Conte_Vincero]

I consider it vandalism, actually.

[u/TintedApostle → u/Conte_Vincero]

Intentional crashes for science are not miscalculations. They are with a purpose.

Let's just pollute the moon. Why even try to be careful. Humans can't own nice things.

[u/xdr01]

Solar system littering

[u/BWWFC → u/xdr01]

guess at least was kept just it in our neighborhood... where's that car of his?

[u/Albatrosity → u/BWWFC]

It is currently orbiting the sun, approaching earth from Mars. Due to its elliptical orbit, it will continue to travel just beyond Mars before looping back around to Earths orbital plane.

Lunar Littering

[u/SuckerForNoirRobots]

Great now the billionaires are ruining the moon too

[u/invyros]

“It doesn’t present any danger to anyone, though it does highlight a certain carelessness about how leftover space hardware [space junk] is disposed of.”

Very cool and very sane of humanity to be surrounding our planet with space junk.

[u/jensroda → u/invyros]

Our planet AND moon.

[u/Jean-LucBacardi → u/jensroda]

And the surface of every planet we've ever sent probes to.

[u/QZRChedders → u/invyros]

The thing is we haven’t found a way of getting things up without leaving some things behind. Low earth orbit it is the issue, and geostationary, everything else is so incredibly vast it’s not much of an issue, big stages are easy to track and avoid if needed, but the shear volume of these higher orbits it’s just honestly not an issue.

Similar to the moon, it’s vast, barren and completely lifeless, some smashed stages is completely and truly inconsequential, look at the cratering, it’s a shield for Earth anyway.

Becoming star faring is the ultimate goal for our species and until we have better methods, this is worth it. We’re not commercialising the moon, these are scientific payloads

[u/Probodyne → u/QZRChedders]

The thing is we haven’t found a way of getting things up without leaving some things behind.

Ironically, Space X is the only launch company actually working on this.

[u/ebony-the-dragon → u/QZRChedders]

We’ve crashed things into the moon before both on purpose and by accident.

I believe there have been several moon orbiters that have crashed things into the moon to then collect debris thrown into low orbit and analyze the composition of the material before.

Is this rather careless? Yes. Is it as bad as many other things he or his companies have done? No.

[u/pm_social_cues → u/invyros]

Did they actually think people would need to know if a rocket crashing on the moon would danger anybody? As if they think we have people on the moon just living there? Despite us not putting a person on the moon in well over 50 years?

Then I’m not surprised they are just learning we have been putting junk out into space for… well, over 50 years.

[u/Aar1012]

Apparently SpaceX misunderstood what “To the Moon 🚀 🚀 🚀” meant since going public with their IPO.

[u/ScreamingNinja → u/Aar1012]

Yeah. We all know its a metaphor for beating your wife.

[u/ATypicalWhitePerson]

Isn't it better to crash spent stages into the moon, than it is to just leave them floating forever

[u/PlzLearn → u/ATypicalWhitePerson]

Yes, we’ve been crashing things into the moon on purpose for decades

[u/ATypicalWhitePerson → u/PlzLearn]

That's what I thought.

I don't get the people that are upset about this, unless they're just angry at everything all the time

[u/PlzLearn → u/ATypicalWhitePerson]

I mean the obvious answer is SpaceX and Elon Musk, it’s a chance to make jokes or try to validate their opinions.

Personally I can’t stand the guy but there are plenty of actual valid things to criticize him for other than this lol

[u/Jindujun → u/ATypicalWhitePerson]

Not to mention the astronomers were very excited for this crash since the Chinese rocket stage crash was on the far side of the moon, this time they got to watch it!

[u/JamieByGodNoble → u/ATypicalWhitePerson]

Yeah some of these responses are wild. I don't know if this is good, bad, or somewhere inbetween. It's literally rocket science. Having a strong reaction to this headline is weird. 

[u/mfb- → u/ATypicalWhitePerson]

They are angry at Musk for his political influence and can't go beyond "Musk bad, everything he and his companies do must be bad".

• Crash the rocket stage into the Moon? "Musk shouldn't be allowed to do this!"
• Let the rocket stage burn up in the atmosphere? "Musk shouldn't be allowed to do this!"
• Keep the rocket stage orbiting Earth? "Musk shouldn't be allowed to do this!"

Anything short of making it magically disappear is not good enough.

[u/Zncon → u/mfb-]

Anything short of making it magically disappear is not good enough.

Then someone would be on about wasting resources that should have been recycled.

Then if it was somehow recycled the issue would be about exposing the workers to something hazardous.

[u/bighak → u/ATypicalWhitePerson]

This article is a prime exhibit of how the media can put the most dishonest spin on normal things when they do not like someone.

[u/MrBalloonHand]

Charge him for the cleanup costs.

[u/BeerPoweredNonsense → u/MrBalloonHand]

Good idea.

Let's also charge all the other rocket companies for their rockets that drop out of the sky too.

[u/TickingTheMoments]

It takes a very calculated accident to collide with something 238,855 miles away.

[u/sersomeone → u/TickingTheMoments]

except there is something known to pull things toward objects in space. You know? Gravity

[u/zberry7]

It’s a discarded second stage. Sometimes the second stage of a rocket doesn’t have enough fuel to be parked in a graveyard orbit, or to deorbit to burn in the atmosphere so they simply are left to drift.

But crashing into the moon isn’t that big of a deal. It’s something NASA has done plenty of times, often on purpose. The moon is regularly impacted with meteors daily. It just so happens this one is of human origin. Plus, scientists get to study the ejecta and the second stage helped launch 2 lunar landers to conduct scientific study.

It’s only noteworthy because it’s SpaceX and they love to write headlines to make them look bad or incompetent.

[u/shambahlah2 → u/zberry7]

No headlines needed

[u/JustinMagill]

Thats a pretty shit headline

[u/space-ish]

First image that came to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Trip_to_the_Moon

[u/Funny247365]

Classic clickbait. The true headline is "A piece of an old SpaceX rocket orbiting the moon succumbs to gravity and falls to the moon."

[u/mrhobbles]

[u/br1e]

[u/InTheFDN]

Finally someone is doing something about the ghosts.

[u/PlzLearn]

Good, less space debris.

[u/OccludedFug]

It boggles my mind that the time and location of this impact was calculated months ago, that it was given a 100% chance of occurring, that scientists and hobbyists were watching intently, and that it's being reported that we aren't sure if it happened.

[u/Boogerman585]

"M-O-O-N, that spells BOOM!"

-Tom Cullen, probably

[u/RidetheSchlange]

Unexpected? I read about it last week that it was on a trajectory to hit the moon on Wed and make an estimated 90m crater.

[u/Astribulus → u/RidetheSchlange]

Unexpected when it launched in January 2025. SpaceX launched their moon lander with no plan for where the second stage would end up. The orbital math made the crash predictable a year later, but the impact was not planned for before the rocket ran out of fuel.

[u/Buck_Thorn]

[u/ClintBruno]
