Elon Musk's Seven Year Old SpaceX Rocket is Out Of Control in Space

The rocket (DSCOVR) was abandoned in high orbit seven years ago and is now an Out-of-control SpaceX rocket on a collision course with the moon. After it completed its original mission to send a space-weather satellite on a million-mile journey, the rocket does not have enough fuel to return to Earth safely. It completed its long burn of its engine and wasn't able to escape the gravity of the Earth-Moon system with the remaining fuel.

The Falcon 9 launched from Florida in February 2015 from Cape Canaveral is now considered to be "Space Junk" and is traveling toward the moon for a crash landing.

This Falcon 9 Rocket is now considered to be four metric tonnes of Space Junk. Space enthusiasts believe the impact could provide valuable data for ground space scientists and the space community. A projected crash of about 5,770 mph is expected to not significantly damage the moon however will create a new crater.
