It'll be interesting to see the outcome of the FCC debate (if that's how the CERN future collider is still being referred to). And to see whether China's proposed alternative, the CEPC (Circular Electron-Positron Collider) makes it into the Chinese government's 15th 5-Year Plan. Without that, it's probably dead in the water, but if the government do decide to back it, there's a very good chance it could go ahead. CEPC would be similar scale to FCC, and I don't think the high-energy physics community would/could support 2 such machines.
A lunar impact would be very cool!
Depending on where on the Moon it hits, we might even be able to spot the flash it creates with a small telescope!
Even if it hits the far side, we’d hopefully have good observation satellites and ground stations by 2032.
But then I’ve been waiting for the Lunar Hilton since the 1970s…
