Lunar Debris and the Blurred Lines of Space Governance The recent images of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage's impact site on the moon's surface, captured by South Korea's lunar orbiter Danuri, highlight concerns about space debris.
The incident occurred when the Falcon 9 fragment entered an unstable orbit for over a year before crashing into the lunar surface.
This event raises questions about the effectiveness of current de orbiting strategies used by space agencies and private players.
