This has been in the pipeline for some time, it's not the first time I've heard of this. As far as I understand it they are going to fire a
projectile into the moon, about the size of a washing machine, and then another craft will capute data of what is thrown out into the atmosphere.
Official story is that they want to test for water, although I'm not sure many on here will believe that! Either way, the launch is today so hold on
to your hats, should be interesting to see what comes back!

It's really, really important to find water if they plan to have a moon base. If they don't find any -- then some NEO or Rock in space rich with
elements may be better.
Knowing exactly when and where an strike is going to hit the moon, will allow them to take seismic readings, see how it changes the rock, and measure
the debris field around. It just seems like a very useful test to make.
If they are trying to "cover something up." Then likely, there are high resolution photographs of the area already -- it's either seen or unseen
already. So an underground bunker?
If we have gotten this sci-fi, then it still makes no sense. Nobody is visiting the moon to find such and underground bunker. It would be a better
idea to take the bunker away from whoever is there and use it -- being that bunkers are probably in short supply on the moon -- but of course I'm
guessing.
>> This site is for speculating, but I have to wonder why people bother with some of these speculations, when there are so many real, actual issues
that are impacting our lives.
Anyway, just my two cents. It is at least an exercise for the mind to figure out other reasons to bombard the moon -- but I am not coming up with any
that make sense.
