NASA To Bomb The Moon Friday

www.nasa.gov

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. – NASA’s Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission will come to a dramatic conclusion at approximately 4:30 a.m. PDT (7:30 a.m. EDT) on Friday, Oct 9, 2009, with the impact of the LCROSS Centaur upper stage rocket and four minutes later, the impact of the LCROSS Shepherding Spacecraft into Cabeus crater near the moon’s south pole. To mark the event, NASA Ames Research Center is hosting ‘LCROSS Impact Night.’ News media are invited to cover the three-part event that is open to the public and free of charge

The impact will be so powerful that it will eject a huge plume of debris that can be seen on Earth. NASA plans to air the whole event starting at 6:15 am EDT on Oct.9th on NASA TV www.nasa.gov... A Centaur missile will hit a crater close to the southern pole at twice the speed of a bullet. Folks on ' the dark side of the of the moon' better hold on to their hats.

CRASHING a rocket into the Moon would could uncover 5the presence of water ice, says a scientist who has helped Nasa decide where to target its probes.

The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite and its Centaur rocket is expected to hit a crater in the Cabeus region of the Moon's south pole at 12:30pm on 9 October. The material propelled upwards will be studied with ground-based telescopes.

Cabeus was identified by Dr Vincent Eke of Durham University as a site with high concentrations of hydrogen – a key element in water.

He said: "If ice is present ... then it could potentially provide a water source for the eventual establishment of a manned base on the Moon."

It's an exciting time we live in - I count myself so lucky to have seen little tracked robots on Mars, probes from many nations investigating the Moon, comets crash into planets etc.

Humans are still learning, not quite stagnating!

how could we? here in our very own planet we have groups who protect ancient sites , guard it with their lives and some of us couldnt even get near inside in some of the historical digs and ancient sites, like the pyramids and now Nasa will bomb the moon? and yes talking bout the pyramids,Maybe they will bomb them too coz we never could fathom whats with them...we just cant comprehend...so set the coordinates.. just like the moon...and bury whatever lies in there for posterity ...

Humans have learnt nothing it appears.

Reminds me of the Blow Up The Moon sketch on HBO's late, great Mr. Show With Bob & David.

With so many other countries now sending up probes and discussing lander missions on the Moon, it stands to reason that the good ol' USofA would want to bomb any evidence of existing structures (either ancient or our own) out of existance before the rest of the world gets wise to it.

I said the same.. our old campfire buddies on the dark side are hopefully intelligent enough to shoot the missle before it hits imo if the Moon is their property then we just declared war on them.

Sure it might only be a 20 foot hole and do little damage but this is intentionally firing into the moon

be fun if this is how disclosure comes about or project bluebeam's false alien invasion. I saw someone remark that November will be the first real test of bluebeam

It's not just the Americans ... so quit with the American bashing (I am not a huge fan of NASA either):

A Japanese probe ended more than a year of orbiting the moon with a controlled crash-landing on the lunar surface, officials said Thursday.

and

China's lunar probe ended its 16-month mission with a controlled crash onto the moon Sunday, officials said.Chang'e I hit the moon surface at 4:13 pm Beijing time

It's a lot cheaper and safer than sending a manned mission to dig a few holes.

Exactly!
"If we can't have it..no one can!"

I tell you what... if they destroy an ancient monument/kill any of the inhabitants of the countless colonies up there... it will be war.. this isnt a celestial object being slammed into them.. it's a bloody human rocket.

EDIT: also i think they are testing the hollow moon theory in recent months a handful of probes from various nations have crashed into the moon.. i wonder if they are monitoring the bell like noise.. and see if they can awaken whoever lives inside.
