The agency said the double crater might indicate that the rocket had a large mass on each end of it. A rocket that has used up its fuel usually will just have its mass on the end with the motor, with the other side being an empty fuel tank.
The rocket’s origin is uncertain, but the double crater that it produced might reveal its identity, according to the release.
A rocket body hitting the moon has not created a double crater before, the release states.

What memories with Estes. When I lived in the country I’d buy the cheapest one and pack the body with firecrackers. Me and my boys enjoyed it when they’d detonate midair

A friend used to have padded nose cones for frog astronauts, as a kid.

Be funny as heck if President Trump’s Space Force gave the chicom orbiter a little nudge - just to send a signal to Xi.

One of my kids is a Flight Operations Engineer at NASA. His mission is an array of four satellites that fly in formation. He said there’s a plaque on the wall at their control station acknowledging their Guie=ness World Record for the closest satellite formation at 7km apart. (touching bumpers in space world)
He said he’s flown them closer but they haven’t gone after the record again.
Not sure I could imagine actually bumping one without significant damage to both.

Elections where stolen through China (Maria Zack.) Wuhan lab creating covid (Zhengli Shi) and Pfizer injection developed by the CCP company Fosun(Guo Guangchang).
I would say a little nudge isn't going to happen.
