A four-tonne rocket that was propelled off the face of the Earth a full seven years ago is likely to be on course for a smash-up with the moon.
In a fight it is unlikely to win, the rocket from Elon Musk's SpaceX is thought to be on for a direct collision with the tide-changing rock, experts have warned.
The Falcon 9 booster, which took off from Mother Earth's Florida in February 2015, was originally on a space weather satellite mission but has since been in orbit around the Blue Planet since it ran out of fuel, the Independent reports.
