Maybe it’ll take out the Chinese rover, sparking a dispute between our nations. Biden can compensate them by looking the other way on a Taiwan invasion.

From what i understand the moon is constantly falling toward earth, not drifting away.

Just another vax rocket flopping around out there.

Hey, maybe it will accidentally crash into this -

That’s going to push the moon closer to earth.

Probably aimed at one of the chicom’s secret moon bases...

Maybe that is why our communist rulers have been stalling the that BIG SpaceX launch...
They are protecting the chicoms and Pelousy’s moon-defense investments...

Hard saying. I imagine that the distance between is variable by much more than the 4 cm a year that the Forbes article says it’s drifting away. Hard to pin down what’s happening with Erf’s mass, too.

The Falcon 9 booster was launched in February 2015 as part of a mission to send a climate observation satellite 930,000 miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth, but since running out of fuel, the 4.4-ton (4 metric tons) rocket has been hurtling around space in a chaotic orbit.

The Joe Biden trajectory...
