Falcon 9 upper stage strikes the Moon near Einstein Crater at approximately 5,400 mph, creating a fresh 20-30 meter crater.
Falcon 9 launch
Falcon 9 launches from Kennedy Space Center carrying Blue Ghost-1 and Resilience landers on a trans-lunar trajectory.
Upper stage depletion and drift
After payload deployment, the upper stage runs out of fuel and begins an uncontrolled chaotic orbit within the Earth-Moon system.
