We certainly aint gonna see no huge dust plumes then are we?

Actually, What I think is the worse thing about it all is how much money was spent on something so stupid!!! If it was a flop, that just adds insult to injury.
Astronomers using the 5-meter Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego also saw no plume. By comparison, when the Japan Space Agency’s lunar-orbiting Kaguya spacecraft deliberately crashed into the unlit side of the moon last June, a 4-meter ground-based-telescope could see it.

Richard Boylan held a worldwide telepathy/prayer session yesterday to try and get a bunch of people to 'think' the payload off course.
His assertion that Cabeus A is a home to Star Visitors aside, wouldn't it be interesting if they pulled it off?

...So, yes -- LCROSS did hit its target successfully.

Jeepers what a PR mess. The WWF 'flash the screen' trick or not? How long does it take to crop some photos?
Weird - this is all speculation however.
