Shoot the moon
 

Catch a live broadcast from the LCROSS space probe as it shoots a projectile into the lunar surface to gather more space stuff.

I posted something on this the other day. Dident get much interest though.

Dident know they had a live feed... its probably hours of boredom though. :03:

Ill have to check it out. Thanks

Death to the moon dwellers!
Death to the lunar aggressors!
May they all be crushed and die under our mighty bombardment.
Earth shall prevail; victory shall be total.
We will make them pay for their arrogance.

Wait shouldent we have unconditional negotiations first?

It'll be after we do this that we'll find out that the Moon is actually the Death Star in disguise....

I watched a show "Universe" the other night. I was amazed at the fact that the Moon is slowly moving further from the earth.

To the tune of an inch or so a year :o

Eventually it will be far enough that it will have a dramatic effect on our climate and oceans.

Wheres Al Gore when you need em.

Nah, they're way too slow, we'll bombard them to rubble before they can get out of range!

Al Gore is too slow? :haha:

Well maybe but not in that way... I think you have misquoted there.

No the Death Star orbits Saturn:

Speaking of Saturn a new massive ring around Saturn has been discovered:

Well the deed is done, I dident see it personally but understand it was rather anticlimatic.

I guess it dident wake Godzilla :hmmm:

I think we all know it was done to destroy the secret Soviet moon landing site. :O:

I heard it was a failure...:yep:

all there maths = fail... lol

Got to see the camera shot as it went splat, whoopee! :down:

HAHAHA nasa Fails on camera...:rotfl2: anyone have a vid?

I got up early to watch it. Pretty much a non-event. The only reason I watched it was to see if they were going to counter-attack and shoot back at us.

You mean CSPAN?:haha:

On thursday, they had people calling in that were opposed to bombing the moon:haha:, gawd there are some dumb people.

Denizens of the moon were shocked and dismayed to find the surface of their world pockmarked by yet another crater. "Just when we were starting to get a handle on filling these damn holes in, NASA vandalizes us further", one lunar official complained. "How dare they callously disfigure our beautiful planet?"

I feel bad for them... first we claim there land as something called a landing site... then we bombard them a new crator...:rotfl2:

It's hardly the first time. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter team recently released this image of another man-made impact on the Moon 38 years ago . The crater in the center of this image was formed by Apollo 14's Saturn IVB booster. The booster was intentionally impacted into the lunar surface on Feb. 4, 1971. The impact caused a minor "moonquake" that scientists used to learn about the moon's interior structure. Seismometers placed on the surface by the Apollo 12 astronauts returned data on the tremor.
