After so much time hearing about how SpaceX dumps rocket debris all over Boca Chica it's kind of amusing that they're also leaving trash on the moon. It would be cool if we sent people back to the moon one day and they took photos next to junk like this. Or whatever is left of it.

This "trash" could provide a lot of valuable metal and maybe other stuff, for future moon missions. I wouldn't really call it trash.

Thats what I say about the broken down car in my front yard, but it is still frowned upon.

There is not much rocket debris in Boca Chica. If you do find something sell it on ebay.

Debris of rockets, no.

Debris caused by rockets, yes. Tons of it. Go visit and see for yourself.

From the pictures I just saw online, it seems like there have indeed been cases of rocket debris as well.

You realize we've been smashing shit into the moon since Apollo right?

Also you know the literal trash bags of trash and poop that Apollo dumped overboard.

This smashing into the the moon will leave a random crater, and last time I checked, lots of craters on the moon.

I believe it's actually unresolved whether NASA left poop on the moon or not: https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/37952/did-apollo-l...

The Soviet Union was quite busy with their Luna program which made lunar impacts commonplace, including

Luna 15 was not only in lunar orbit at the same time as Apollo 11, but also sent to crash into Mare Crisium while USA astronauts were still on the surface at Tranquility Base.
