Craters discovered by NASA’s Reconnaissance Orbiter caused excitement. The reality turned out to be much more boring than the fantasies of ufologists, named Long March 3C, the third phase of the 2014 Chang’e 5-T1 mission in China. But here’s the trick: This was no ordinary rocket. He apparently bounced several times after falling, implying there was a “mysterious heavyweight passenger.”
While the amount of payload is unknown (perhaps a hidden lunar payload), the double-crater drama in the lunar landscape now has a definitive, albeit realistic, explanation.
