Man who cares? Fucking moon isn't even real.

I am saying in my words that other avenues can be taken to test for water on the moon, without having to blow up our nearest neighbor in our universe. It is just not smart, period. |

| Originally posted by culorut Yeah it does sound cool but it does not mean we should do it. There are other avenues which are much less harmful and definitely less destructible then what is going to be done in 48 hours from now. That's like saying we should throw all these pollutants in our oceans because it costs less then disposing of it properly. I am sure our children will thank us for poisoning them. Save now = Pay later. Big time. |
Mother nature on the moon? It's not like we've ever been there or anything.

We have to protect the moon ecosystem!
LUNAR WARMING!!!
Wow, I leave for a few hours and all I am reading now is a bunch of excuses trying to justify how we should just bomb the moon because it's cool, we don't "think" it is harmful, the moon is not real and any other bullshit which needs to be posted for not actually taking it seriously.
I am positive some are doing it for the laughs but the really sad part is some of you really do not care that we are destroying what we might never get back just because we think we know it all when in reality we know nothing and are nothing compared to the universe.
The human race deserves to destroy itself if the majority of people are like you idiots.
Moon hugger!!!1

I like how this thread turned out 
im going to pipe in just for a second.....
technically NASA isn't bombing anything.... the probe cannot be classified as a bomb as it does not contain an explosive payload.... its a projectile.
the most important question you should be asking yourself is why the fuck anyone should give a shit about this? hitting the moon with a satellite is comparable to farting in a hurricane, no one will ever notice.....
then to back up your theory of this being an evil act you quote a crack pot who thinks this is a space based weapons test? hate to break it to you, but if this was a weapons test, this is the worst weapon ever conceived..... any enemy that cant see a fucking satellite heading for them on a crash course deserves to be wiped out........
As soon as colorot appears he's gone. Until the next youtube-outed conspiracy!!!
NASA went ahead and bombed the moon and I haven't been able to see it all morning. It looks like it's gone folks. RIP moon, I'll miss you 
No big flash from NASA�s moon crash
A pair of NASA spacecraft smashed into the moon at twice the speed of a bullet, as part of a mission aimed at blasting up signs of water ice.
Pictures of the impact zone were beamed back live to Earth, but the video imagery did not show any signs of a flash.
"It's hard to tell what we saw there," said Michael Bicay, director of science at NASA's Ames Research Center in California.
The first crash took place at 7:31 a.m. ET. That�s when an empty rocket that weighed 2.2 tons hit the crater Cabeus. It was expected to create a crater about 66 feet (20 meters) wide, which is half the length of an Olympic pool. The blast should have kicked up a plume of lunar debris about six miles (10 kilometers) high.
Scientists hoped an analysis of the debris would confirm the theory that water � a key resource if people are going to go back to the moon � is hidden below the barren moonscape.
Trailing behind the rocket was the lunar probe LCROSS, short for Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite and pronounced L-Cross. For four minutes, the LCROSS shepherding spacecraft sent Earth live pictures of the rocket stage's expected impact zone in multiple wavelengths � and then plunged into the crater itself.
Telescopes around the world � including the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope � aimed their cameras at the moon to capture views of the dust-up.
At least one telescope team, at the MMT Observatory in Arizona, reported spotting a bright debris plume. The visible-light images sent back by LCROSS itself showed no sign of such a plume, although Bicay noted that evidence of a crash did turn up in thermal imagery.
LCROSS project manager Dan Andrews said it was possible that the lighting was bad for the spacecraft's images, and that those images needed to be tweaked to make the debris plume easier to see. The raw images could have been essentially �gray against black,� he said.
�What matters for us is: What is the nature of the stuff that was kicked up going in?� Andrews said. �All nine instruments were working fine and we received good data.�
The data will be analyzed for weeks to come. If the analysis shows no signs of water, that would run counter to recent findings suggesting that lunar soil, also known as regolith, contains more water ice than previously thought.
However, Bicay said there could be other explanations for the absence of a water signal. For example, it may be that the water is unevenly distributed � even within the permanently shadowed polar craters that are thought to be the best prospects for ice mining. Bicay said LCROSS' scientists may have come across a situation familiar to Texas oil wildcatters.
"We may have hit a dry hole rather than a wet hole," he said.
Mission ends after mere months
Launched in LCROSS and its bigger rocket stage launched together last June and only separated Thursday night, the last major milestone before the big crash.
The lunar demolition derby was broadcast live on NASA Television and on the Internet. NASA reported that as many as 391,000 Internet users were watching the webcast concurrently. That made it the space agency's third biggest Web video event, behind the space shuttle Discovery's launch and landing in 2005.

Museums and observatories across the country hosted early-morning LCROSS gatherings, but in most cases, the events didn't live up to advance expectations. At Los Angeles' Griffith Observatory, people who got up early to look for the crash threw confused looks at each other instead.
Telescope demonstrator Jim Mahon called the celestial show "anticlimactic.�
�I was hoping we�d see a flash or a flare,� he said.
The LCROSS probe cost $79 million and was an add-on to a bigger NASA satellite, known as Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which is now circling the moon.

What a waste of fucking time/money. What is the point of finding water on the moon? Who cares?

Personally I just kinda wanna know. We're blowing trillions of dollars on all this shit, why not crash into the moon and see if there's water. It all makes sense in this world

If there is water on the moon, that means whatever moon base we have in the future will be able to make its own water from that on the moon.
