DrDawkinstein Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 ok, maybe not blowing it up exactly. but we are crashing some awesome stuff into it to "see what happens". should be pretty awesome. wish i was farther west so i could see it! Space Ships to Crash Into the Moon This Friday! my favorite quote: Remember, we’ve never done this before. We’re not 100% sure what will happen, and big surprises are possible.

Space Ships to Crash Into the Moon This Friday! my favorite quote: We actually did something similar with the Apollo missions, but couldn't aim it or have the instruments to analyze it. The third stage of the moon missions was fired to send them towards the moon. After extraction of the LEM, the stage continued on to smash into the moon. After Apollo 11, they analyzed the impacts with seismographs they left.
HopsGuy Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moon-danceWith the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies I'm sure mead107 & mrs. mead107 will have a nice red and just wait for the cheese to fall. Not me though. I'm just hoping to get some cheddar on my popcorn that I've had ready all season.

Chandler#81 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Awe inspiring! I'll have my telescope set up. ..and be late for work.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 watch they hit it just right and it splits in two
dib Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Wait, I'm confused. I read an article that stated NASA doesnt have enough money to send manned missions back to the moon. So other than for academic knowledge why spend 79 million dollars to see if there is ice/water on the moon?
Just Jack Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I thought of this. Hmm, too bad I don't have a telescope. That's the scene I thought of also when I heard about this happening.

Ramius Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 We actually did something similar with the Apollo missions, but couldn't aim it or have the instruments to analyze it. The third stage of the moon missions was fired to send them towards the moon. After extraction of the LEM, the stage continued on to smash into the moon. After Apollo 11, they analyzed the impacts with seismographs they left. Not many people know that the day before Apollo 11 landed on the moon, the russians accidentally crashed a probe into the moon, in an effort to "land before us" and transmit data from the surface before the moonwalk.
Pete Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 http://www.rathergood.com/hedgehogs I love that song!
Steely Dan Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Perhaps Gangsta Kitty will enjoy some hedgehogs as well! http://www.rathergood.com/hedgehogs I'm not sure that's appropriate for this board.
