there was the possibility that they could damage one of the previous Apollo or Soviet lunar lander sites.

I really think we should sell Richard Branson on the idea of building a resort on the Moon, with guided tours of the Apollo sites.

Some of them made it. First successful moon landing in 1966.

Soviet lunar probe history.

Or even better than a resort on the Moon- how about a retirement home? In 0.16G many seniors who need walkers or wheelchairs would be able to hop, skip and jump wherever they want to go.

The Soviets landed unmanned probes on the moon.

Yes, yes, that's fine! What's out of here is to think that a crashing satellite has a chance of hitting any of those installations. I'll run some numbers when I have some time but it's at least a billion to 1.
