Even though all missions to the moon had to be staged, the telemetry data was destroyed, fake moon rocks were gifted, astronauts can't remember if there are stars in space, and ultra realistic CGI (not) has fooled most people into thinking there are robots on other celestial bodies, I know the astro physicists and science fiction writers got it right this time when they simulated what probably happened to our moon. Nevermind that only one side is ever facing us, and disregard the gravity of earth and the laws of motion when the astroid hits the near side if the moon, because that model really needs to seem plausible so that the people know space is a dark scary void where giant rocks can come flying and erase life at any moment.
