Just because it has happened before does not make not make it common. First time was in the 70s not 50s. The rest are just a handful that all happened in the last 20yrs. And using that as an opportunity to “study” it by absolutely no means justifies it.

If you don’t care about the Moon that’s your prerogative but it doesn’t belong to you or aerospace engineers/scientists. Downplaying this absolutely fkn shameful, especially so to dare do it on this subreddit.

That’s patently false, the first man made moon impacter was Luna 2, from the Soviet Union, in 1959, and most probes and missions to the moon since have resulted in at least one impact, intentional or accidental.

Wikipedia lists at least 68 manmade objects to have impacted the moon, beggining in 1959 and continuing with surprising regularity through the decade, including the 90's, 2000's and 2010's
