I don’t understand the hysteria regardless. Unless it were taking out an Apollo landing site. The original story said it was impacting on the ‘far side’ near the equator. I prefer to look at it as a chance to get more lunar seismology.
Drumming up hysteria against “Capitalists In SPAAAAACE!“. Private enterprise in space being ‘icky’ and always bad you see. They might even want the private property to build a Tesla plant on the Moon quelle horreur!
Well I, for one, am horrified and the thought of the pristine lunar orb being marred by a crater.
A few years ago, I was standing at a school run bus stop when a 6 year old marvelled at the daytime moon. Out of curiosity, I asked him how big he thought it was. “As big as 4 or 5 houses,” he replied. I am not convinced most adults have a much better grasp of the scale.
