A mad Chinese rocket is going to crash into the moon and explode. At first, everyone thought that SpaceX had built the rocket, but NASA later confirmed that it belonged to a Chinese lunar mission in the past.
The rocket, called the 2014-065B, the booster of Chang’e 5-T1, launched in 2014. The Chinese space agency’s lunar exploration program makes this rocket and will hit the moon at 7:26 a.m. on March 4, the last afternoon in the Middle East.
It will be a bit harder to see because the effect will probably be on the moon’s far side, the dark side, and will not be visible to the human eye. This will create a new hole in the moon, about 10 to 20 meters.
The announcement was made last weekend by astronomer Bill Gray, who admitted his mistake that it was not Elon Musk’s fault and that it was probably China’s fault instead.
