Mystery rocket' that crashed into the Moon baffles NASA scientists

[Disir]

NASA has discovered the crash site of a "mystery rocket body" that collided with the Moon's surface earlier this year. The impact left behind a widespread "double crater," meaning it wasn't the average rocket.
However, since its crash landing, none of Earth's space-exploring nations have claimed responsibility for the mysterious projectile, leaving NASA scientists baffled as to who was behind its launch. New images shared on June 24 by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter show the unusual impact site.

That's almost comical. Nobody wants to fess up.

It could be a big chunk of space junk . The area around the earth is loaded with it.

With the advances in HD technology, all photographic technology has been updated to HD format...................except for the 1960 cameras still being used to take pictures of the moon, BigFoot, and UFO's.

I don't see any rocket debris. I just see two dark grey areas.

Earths outter atmosphere has been loaded with junk since the 1950's. Most of this stuff shot up into space has a 10 year life expectancy, and then made redundant as new tech takes over. Then the crap has about 10 more years before it either shoots off into space or dives down into Earths atmosphere and burns up.

All this "alien" crap they claim they are finding on the moon, is nothing more than SPACE JUNK that ended up getting shot to the moon.

And this does NOT include space debris itself that gets caught up in Earths orbit and then shot back off into space or crashing through our atmosphere.

Is this settled science at its best? I say it's from a space shuttle that came back in time to help us with climate change and the death of hump back wales...

It was those Nazis living on/in the moon...

We've been crashing stuff into the moon for decades. Wiki has a good list.

Aren't most you you guys claiming were not alone in this universe? Of course it was aliens

You can't get to the moon by accident. Reaching earth's escape velocity ain't easy. Objects orbiting the earth don't get "knocked" to the moon

Wait.....you sure you got the right chick?

I don't believe in aliens, but most do, so TO THEM I say, "what makes you think it's ours?"

I think it might be a T-72 turret...

Excerpts from the OP link;
...
Astronomers anticipated the crash after spotting the unidentified rocket on a collision course with the Moon late last year. It finally hit on March 4 near the Hertzsprung crater, a "complex" impact crater on the far side of the Moon.

NASA stated that the two large masses on each end of the rocket may have caused the craters, but noted that the impact marks are highly unusual. Spent rockets, according to NASA, tend to have a heavy motor at one end and a lighter empty fuel tank on the other, scientists say. The space agency did not offer any guesses on what the additional mass was.

"Since the origin of the rocket body remains uncertain, the double nature of the crater may indicate its identity," NASA said in a news release.

At least 47 NASA rocket bodies have created "spacecraft impacts" on the moon, according to 2016 data from Arizona State University. Four large moon craters attributed to Apollo 13, 14, 15 and 17 missions are substantially larger than each of the overlapping craters created by the March 4 impact, according to NASA. However, scientists said the maximum width of the new double crater is near that of the Apollo craters.

All this "alien" crap they claim they are finding on the moon, is nothing more than SPACE JUNK that ended up getting shot to the moon.

Ours “space junk” is nearly all between about 100 and 22,000 miles above Earth. The Moon is about 220,000 miles away from Earth—about ten times as far as the farthest artificial satellites.

I have to admit that there is much to know about the relevant physics, beyond that which I do know, but I know enough to know this much:

• It takes more energy to send anything to the Moon than it does to put it into the orbits were we have been putting artificial satellites. A lot more.
• It takes very precise calculations to send something to the moon.
• By existing technology, to intentionally put anything on the Moon is a fairly major undertaking.
• Thus, it seems extremely unlikely that anything that we meant to put up as a normal satellite would wind up on the Moon.

It couldn't get from earth orbit to the moon.

Hmmmmmmm. I will do some research on the subject and post my findings.

I think Trump was on that rocket in orbit and wanted to go to the moon but the SS said it was too dangerous. So Trump grabbed pilot by the neck and took over the steering wheel and went to the moon. They were gonna crash but the ss put Trump in the escape pod and sent him back to Earth.

Without thrust there is no way it could reach escape velocity and leave the earths gravitational field.
