Don't worry, it was about 25 kilos [55 Ibs] of dynamite.

A 10 foot diameter crater?

A 20 foot crater can be made using 500 Ibs of TNT, depending on the soil.
I'm using a compact, hard soil scale for comparison.

So do the math!

A 10 foot diameter crater on the moon was gouged out by a projectile
with an energy equivalent to roughly that of about 50-60 Ibs of dynamite.
I'm not worried, are you, Raoul?
