According to Reuters, the planned mission will attempt something SpaceX has never achieved before—bringing the Starship upper stage back to land and catching it with mechanical arms at its Texas launch site after completing an orbital journey.

SpaceX Rocket Stage Set to Crash Into the Moon After More Than a Year in Space
A discarded section of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is expected to collide with the Moon in the early hours of Wednesday after spending more than a year drifting through space. According to Reuters, the object is the rocket’s second stage that helped launch Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander in January 2025. The impact is not part of a planned mission but the result of natural gravitational forces that gradually altered the rocket stage’s path.
