So it's just been kind of hanging out for 18 months, going round and round, looking for a place to land.
And it found one.
Wednesday morning, slammed into the moon at a speed of 5,400 miles per hour.
That is approximately seven times the speed of sound.
I don't know if that matters in space.
but it was just for context of how fast it is.
There are no pictures yet of the impact, but people do think it likely created a new crater on the moon.
I mean, that is what moon craters are after all, just like space stuff slamming into it at ridiculous speeds.
Just this one happened to be sent by Elon Musk.
What do we think about space crashes, everybody?
And you are talking to both.
There's one element to this.
Speaking of future generations, NASA does want to build a base on the moon, at least one base.
There is a plan.
It's why Project Artemis happened.
It's why we sent astronauts up around the dark side of it.
It's already been a concern that, look, if you build a moon base, how are you going to protect it from various space objects slamming into the moon's surface?
The more we send rockets up, the more likely it is that we're just adding new threats.
Again, the moon's a big place.
The odds that it would hit a specific moon base location, pretty small.
