This headline certainly caught my attention (via AP):

A discarded SpaceX rocket is on a high-speed collision course with the moon

WHAT.

The moon is not your trash dump, Elon.

The rocket’s upper stage will unintentionally slam into the moon on Wednesday, carving out a crater and sending up a plume of dust and rubble that scientists — and skygazers — are eager to observe.

These people are @$$holes. I am equally eager to observe the moon in a tranquil, undisturbed state, without any plumes of dust and rubble blasting out of it.

Nevertheless, Elon’s 40-foot, 10,000 pound chunk of junk will be smashing into the moon at 5,400 mph, leaving an impact crater almost 90 feet across and 16 feet deep.

That’s just what the moon needs: another impact crater.

It was never SpaceX’s intent to hit the moon. But space experts said the crash could have been avoided if the upper stage had been nudged into orbit around the sun.

Yeah, Elon. You were supposed to bomb the sun.

Benjamin Fernando of Los Alamos National Laboratory told the AP, “Part of the reason for our interest in this event is to figure out how much of a hazard debris impacts pose to future astronauts.”

Then I would suggest keeping Elon and his malfunctioning space toys far away from the moon.

Perhaps more alarming than that, someone at the Associated Press actually wrote this sentence:

With the moon as the new travel hot spot, scientists said it’s crucial to improve debris monitoring and traffic control before packs of robots and astronauts arrive.

I… just… the moon is “the new travel hot spot?” THE MOON. Are AP writers now shooting up ketamine with Elon? And apparently we’re gonna need space junk traffic controllers to be on the lookout, before the marauding “packs of robots and astronauts arrive.”

Holy shit. Am I in a k-hole?

“This impact will not be a problem,” retired astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell said in an email. “But in a future where there are long-term bases on the moon, similar impacts would be an issue and we need not to leave rocket stages in chaotic orbits of this kind.”

Gosh ya think, Jonathan? Maybe the moon can get a restraining order against Elon.

NASA hurled rocket sections and lunar modules into the moon during the Apollo era for seismic measurements. Decades later, in 2009, NASA intentionally crashed its LCROSS spacecraft and upper stage in search of ice near the lunar south pole.

Oh. So I guess the moon is NASA’s trash dump.

Then let me be crystal clear: Elon needs to fuck all the way off, far away from NASA’s moon trash dump.
