February 16 Update: Turns out the piece that will hit the Moon is not from the Space X, but a Chinese rocket. A student group from the University of Arizona has confirmed that the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket booster, which is supposed to be on its way to the Moon on March 4, is actually a Chinese rocket launched in 2014. The collision time and coordinates did not change. So I updated the title of the video accordingly.

Somewhere up there, a spacecraft is about to crash into the Moon… and it is, unplanned and uncontrolled too! The second stage part of a Falcon 9 rocket owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX company is lurching in a chaotic orbit somewhere between the Earth and the Moon. Probably on the 4th of March. 2 seconds before 15:26 Turkish time, it will hit the Moon at a great velocity. For the first time in history, a man-made object will form a crater on the Moon's surface in an unplanned and uncontrolled manner. A situation similar to what happened in the movie "Don't Look Up", which came to the agenda just last month, is happening before our eyes. Don't worry, this crash does not affect us negatively on the contrary to the one in the movie. But there are many developments similar to the ones in the movie. Because it is not NASA or any other space agency that first noticed and announced this collision. SpaceX or Elon Musk, which launched the rocket, also did not have any information on this issue until recently. The first person to find out that this vehicle will hit the Moon is a computer programmer working on his own.
On March 4, we will encounter a very interesting and historical situation. I think both this situation and the story of how we got to this situation are worth telling and sharing.
