Found this, this morning. 

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/jan/26/out-of-control-spacex-rocket-on-track-to-collide-with-the-moon

Apparently a space X rocket is going to crash on the moon on the 4th of May…

May the fourth be with you. 

This article does not say where its going to land on the moon, but one of the Swedish tabloides stated that the Dark side of the moon was the calculated “landing” area.

Guessing there is a risk for the Nazi moon bases on the dark side of the moon.

Somewhere there is a great story in all of this, this might be just what I need to get back to writing again 🙂
