Or should I say, look out above? A Falcon 9 upper stage is going to crash into the Moon in a few weeks.

Scott says Putin is going to embarrass the United States,
Scott right about that. Though embarrassing the US is an easy and profitable thing to do these days.
The only interesting thing is how much and how often- but in terms
of direction, it’s the obvious move.
Nor is it even vaguely a new sport. And one could say Americans will laugh it off, as that our sport. We also like laughing at our silly and dysfunctional government, but doesn’t make our pols who like to be regarded as “serious players”, happy.
Scott also said Nuclear Power on Earth is needed/critical for space. This is not true.
What we need in terms of space in regard to a government action is to exploration the Moon. Which US government is failing to do? And has failed to do for decades. And doesn’t require nuclear power, at all.
Nuclear power on Earth is needed to “do anything” about “global warming” and if we were not focused doing something which is actually *nothing about global warming*, one call it a distraction from doing something important which can be done, very easily. Which is exploring the Moon {and then exploring Mars {{which could be seen as something which maybe could be a bit hard to do}}.
Speaking about Russia it seems it’s possible Russia will doing what might be most important exploration of the Moon in 2022.

More important than what US has done in the last 10 years.
And if successful, will be quite important for the nation of Russia.
This won’t help the situation at starbase.
Maybe it’ll get lucky and hit that secret Nazi moonbase, or even more entertaining, that Chinese rover.
SpaceX reveals Starship “marine recovery” plans in new job postings
“Unsurprisingly, canceling out around 1.5 kilometers per second of downrange velocity (equivalent to Mach ~4.5) and fully reversing that velocity back towards the launch site is an expensive maneuver, costing quite a lot of propellant. For example, the nominal 25-second reentry burn performed by almost all Falcon boosters likely costs about 20 tons (~40,000 lb) of propellant. The average ~35-second single-engine landing burn used by all Falcon boosters likely costs about 10 tons (~22,000 lb) of propellant. Normally, that’s all that’s needed for a drone ship booster landing.”
