TOUS 4621 Un etage de fusee SpaceX s est ecrase sur la Lune

Published on 06/08/2026 | 04:22

The upper stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, abandoned after a lunar mission in 2025, did indeed crash on the Moon, as astronomers had predicted. The impact, occurring at over 8,500 km/h, is believed to have created a crater several tens of meters in diameter. While posing no danger to Earth, this incident reignites questions about the management of space debris as lunar missions become more frequent.
