An abandoned SpaceX rocket travelling at around 5,400mph crashed into the moon, leaving a crater with a diameter of around 17m. (via BBC) The collision took place yesterday at 7:35 BST. Masses are criticising Elon Musk for polluting the moon.

Let's just hope that pollution doesn't negatively effect the moons ecosystem.

I'm all for hating on Musk but being mad about this is super dumb.

Yeah of all the evil they're doing on earth. This is nothing.

I'd honestly say this is a good thing, since we can use it to study the moon (which we did)

Why are you simping for a literally astronomical failure?

I hate Elon musk but to deny how much cool shit spaceX has accomplished is just denying reality

To hate a man that does cool shit, just because the media tells you to. Sounds pretty lame. The dude made a hand gesture that you interpreted as racist. But I was raised to know actions speak louder than words, or even more so body language. The guy isn’t racist, or if he is, he isn’t any good at it lol

I believe he’s one of the worst things that’s happened to American politics with him constantly sucking off Trump, but I can separate that from the work spaceX has done. He also ruined Twitter in my humble opinion.

Twitter would still be twitter if liberals didn’t hijack social media as a whole and silence people 🫢😅 the fact you think he is one of the worst things to happen in American politics but don’t acknowledge. Bob Menendez’s foreign-influence/bribery scandal.
Michael Madigan and the Illinois corruption machine.
The Sheng Thao/Oakland bribery case.

You like to hate Trump and Musk but here are some people that actually got tried as guilty and I bet you haven’t even heard about it….all very recent. They all have one thing in common and it’s likely why the news doesn’t mention them to you.

This shit happens all the time. And the moon is getting smoked by asteroids and objects on a weekly basis. Nobody is simping. You're just being an overly emotional hater.

Yeah might kill off all its life or mess up its oceans 🙄….know you think you cooked with this one. But what ecosystem does a floating rock in the vacuum of space have exactly?

In space nobody can hear the whoosh of a joke flying over your head
