Humans have been deliberately crashing spacecraft into the Moon for more than 65 years, while nature has been targeting our natural satellite for billions. What makes today’s collision significant is the changing role of the Moon itself. In the near future, astronauts and landers, bases and even observatories will begin to occupy the lunar surface. That means uncontrolled lunar impacts
