I don't understand what you mean by a PR mess. They hit their target and collect a lot of data. The plume was expected to be so small that I'm not surprised the ground-based photos have not detected them yet. I expect that the plume will be visible after the photos are further processed.

Even if the wasn't a plume -- that's very telling to the scientists. That means that LCROSS did not hit water ice but instead hit hard bedrock. Either way -- no plume or big plume -- the result would be telling to scientists (even though the common person may find the result boring).


Come on now - NASA promised us a 6 mile plume now where is it!? Oh wait, I see in your statement above - they will "process" it into the pictures - with Photoshop!?!? You'd figure with all of the lunar landings that supposedly happened and all of the tests that they conducted that they would know WTF would happen if they fired a missile into the moon. So either .a) this mission failed, b.) they've never been to the moon and didn't know what to expect and got it wrong, or c.) the ETs living on the moon interecepted the missile and destroyed it. Any way you shake it, it still seems like a complete waste of money and resources.

Like I said in my post, not seeing a plume is very telling in of itself.

No plume or a smaller-than expected plume means they perhaps hit dry bedrock rather than icy soil. THAT result (hitting dry bedrock) would be just as meaningful to scientists as hitting icy soil.

It may not be as interesting and sexy to the average citizen, but science shouldn't be concerned about what would is "cool and interesting to the general public" -- it should only be concerned about what "is".

I see it the other way. Why are you and a few others not able to sdmit that the missioin was possibly a failure. At the very least it looks as though it did not hit with the velocity it was designed to hit with.

It's quite humorous to me that some of you guys keep talking as though a compleate failure of the mission is somehow still great science and well worth the time and money.

The whole point was to kick up dust and anylize said dust. If the dust isn't kicked up then the mission is FAIL

Thew red flashes on the above video seems to show something "activating"
I think the moon just got angry...
there wasnt an impact at all imo. The reactions of the employee's was like this..

" WTF! oh crap the cameras are on...hey guys! mission done!"

perhaps the crater bottom opened let the satellites fly in and closed the crater..thus no impact/crash

i would laugh so hard if a the LCROSS crashes into NASA HQ

something smells fishy about this.. this happens the day Obama get's a Nobel prize so the media focus on that?

If it did any damage to a colony expect a response soon.

There is evidence that it DID hit where and when it was supposed to (a lot of data shows that it did). The only surprise was the size of the plume. That could easily mean that the impactor hit a harder-and-drier than expected surface (i.e., rock instead of icy soil) or the impact occurred at an angle that was greater than expected (i.e., so the ejecta moved sideways in the shadow instead of up high enough for sunlight to shine on it).

It appears they got spectroscopic analysis of something -- it was to early to know if it was the plume, but initial analysis indicates that they DID get the spectral data from the plume. They also have IR images of the impact. (by the way -- they never intended to analyze the plume by "seeing" it with visible light.)

So there is that evidence that it DID impact and possible create a plume from which they collected data...where is your evidence to the contrary?

you say there is evidence that it did hit , can you post that evidence for us to see please , or are you saying that there is evidence because NASA say there is.

NASA probes give moon a double smack
...NASA officials said their instruments were working, but live photos of the actual crash were missing.



Why does this seem so incredibly typical?

I heard there is Uranium on the moon as there is on the earth as originally the moon is part of earth.


Uranium Found on the Moon

BAM! You just got linked!

-E-


Even mentions the treaty as well, basically today is in complete violation!

I have a feeling NASA is trying to search for the uranium rather than the water to be honest.
