Wizard Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 What has come to be known as the NASA Moon bombing is scheduled to take place in the early morning hours on Friday, October 9th, 2009. The idea is to impact a projectile into one of the permanently shadowed craters of the lunar South Pole to eject a stream of dust and other material which will hopefully include water vapor. The NASA Moon bombing will be accomplished by the Lunar Crater Observation Sensing Satellite or LCROSS for short, now currently flying with a Centaur rocket stage. LCROSS was launched earlier this year along with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, now orbiting the Moon. Late tonight the Centaur and the LCROSS will separate, At about 7:30 AM Eastern Time, the Centaur will plow into the Cabeus Crater at a steep angle, kicking up a pillar of dust and other material. This event and the subsequent plume will be observed by nine scientific instruments on board the LCROSS before it too crashes into Cabeus. Astronomers, both professional and amateur, will be able to observe the plume created by the crashes with Earth based telescopes. The Hubble telescope and other space based observatories will also attempt to observe the NASA Moon bombing. The NASA Channel will begin a live broadcast of the NASA Moon bombing at 6:30 AM Eastern time on Friday. Various cable news networks will break in closer to the NASA Moon bombing time. Scientists have suspected for a long time that permanently shadowed craters at the lunar poles contain ice, deposited over billions of years of comet strikes. Results from remote sensing and previous space probe crashes, such as Japan's Kaguya probe, Europe's Smart-1 and NASA's Lunar Prospector, have proven tantalizing but inconclusive. Excitement about water on the Moon spiked a few weeks ago when it was confirmed that the Indian Lunar probe, the Chandrayaan-1 detected water molecules in lunar topsoil. The existence of water on the Moon would help to facilitate future lunar settlers, who would mine the water rather than have to transport it from Earth.http://www.examiner.com/x-21670-Houston-Sp...ctober-9th-2009 Kinda surprised no one posted about this since NASA IS GONNA BOMB THE FUCKING MOON.

emsley Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Haha - I signed the online petetion to blow up the moon - had my hope up for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emsley Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Black people are aggresive and violent - as can be seen from the video above. No black person has ever been to the moon. Thats why its so white!!! just kidding! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoRd_SnOw Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Just for moon water? the first person who drinks will either be immortal, famous, poisoned and purified enough to cure any type of disease... Seriously, bombing the moon just for some water? Someone is too thirsty.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ice-Man Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I like it. Let's all live on the moon, but we're gonna blow it to shit first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsley Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 The fuckers doing this shit dudes are deep intellects. Like they are born to think."Bombing" this shit is like a way of saying (considering they are looking for water) what the fuck did we miss? If they find water on the moon they will all throw paper at one another in their classes. Water on the moon after how many years from the first touch down? Its like digging for gold.

Skythe Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Let's all ignore the more worse shit that has hit the m00n and left all those craters. And no one is living on my m00n. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
