Rocket moon crash LIVE – Elon Musk’s SpaceX not responsible for out-of-control booster set to make impact in TWO DAYS

AN OUT-OF-CONTROL rocket part the size of a school bus will smash into the Moon this week.

According to astronomers, a rocket booster will hit the lunar surface on March 4 after spending nearly eight years tumbling through space.

It will be the first time a manmade object has crashed into another space body without being aimed there.

It was first spotted by Bill Gray, who writes the popular Project Pluto software to track near-Earth objects.

He reported that the junk was a SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage launched from Florida in February 2015

However, Bill later retracted his claim and said the rocket part most likely belonged to China. China has since denied the accusation.
