Of course I don't know what's going to happen... I don't know if the sun is going to explode tomorrow and kill us all either.
But logic tells me that it probably wont explode, and logic tells me that a 2-tonne piece of metal, using kinetic energy, not explosives, slamming
into a planetary body the size of all of Australia, weighing 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 tonnes probably isn't going to do any structural damage to the
Moon.
Craters are on the moon hundreds of kilometers across, indicating meteors of catastrophic size have hit it in the past right? Well we are still
breathing.
The moon is hit by meteors all the time! This will be a pinprick on its surface.
So I'm saying that logic tells me nothing bad will happen.
