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.

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.
