Right now it is space junk hitting the moon and it would be space junk no matter the origin of the spent rocket booster.
- kome 4y ago"Space Junk from Chinese missions" reads different from "Chinese junk"
- moontear 4y agoAgreed. I also don’t like the „Chinese junk“ in the subtitle. This is not what the OP was referring though? The article clearly states „space junk“ which I believe is correct.

- CyanBird 4y ago> It is remarkable that a Chinese junk was able to reach the moon. ;) I know! They still have lots to catch up on tho, given that western junk has already reached Mars and beyond! Gogo west! N°1!
