I'm not a Rocket Scientist nor do I know anything of Orbital mechanics or Astrodynamics .
It was on Purpose that is for sure , Perhaps not the Crashing part but landing on the Moon was for sure intentional . Hitting the Moon with a Rocket may seem like a straight forward thing but while. I'm quite sure that at least one or two flight adjustments would need to be made for a Rocket to hit the moon once it left Earths atmosphere , the odds of it happening accidentally are well just no
A SpaceX rocket that launched nearly seven years ago is now on course to crash into the moon, astronomers have predicted.
The Falcon 9 rocket was launched in February 2015 as part of a mission to send a climate observation satellite 930,000 miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth, but since running out of fuel, the 4.4-ton (4 metric tons) rocket has been hurtling around space in a chaotic orbit.
The rocket's upper stage is now expected to hit the far side of the moon while traveling at a blistering speed of 5,771 mph (9,288 km/h) on March 4, 2022, according to Bill Gray, a developer of software that tracks near-Earth objects
An old rocket booster once thought to be the upper stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9, but now believed to be from the Chinese Chang'e 5-T1 mission (although China denies this)
Gray believes he misidentified the booster as a Falcon 9 years ago. He and other researchers since confirmed it to be the Chinese rocket part instead.

It's nothing but the Runway Space X rocket that carried a few satalites into space. It ran out of fuel and picked up a funky orbit and it was EXPECTED to hit the moon, nothing 'conspiracy' here.
