You guys are ignorant and I'm surprised to discover it
Who said NASA will hit the Moon with something like a rocket, i.e. a weapon? Did you know that NASA was doing this type of thing back in Apollo
days?
Now it is time for
facts:
The LCROSS science payload consists of two near-infrared spectrometers, a visible light spectrometer, two mid-infrared cameras, two near-infrared
cameras, a visible camera and a visible radiometer.

See, no bombs there!
Then what's wrong with crashing a big piece of metal into the surface of the Moon? Thousands of planes crash right into our planet, upper stages of
the rockets crash too and who cares?
Besides, the Moon is there for entirely sinister purposes; been placed by ETs some 13 000 years ago. The Moon is actually an artificial spacecraft.
I'd be only glad, if some agency of country blow it up without any large pieces left.
P.S. By crashing LEMs, Apollo astronauts determined that our Moon is probably hollow and very rigid, like metal (metal shell) - "rang like a bell"
for hours.
