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.

NASA’s Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission will come to a dramatic conclusion at approximately 4:30 a.m. PDT (7:30 a.m. EDT) on Friday, Oct 9, 2009, with the impact of the LCROSS Centaur upper stage rocket and four minutes later, the impact of the LCROSS Shepherding Spacecraft into Cabeus crater near the moon’s south pole. To mark the event, NASA Ames Research Center is hosting ‘LCROSS Impact Night.’ News media are invited to cover the three-part event that is open to the public and free of charge.

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.

Lets not damage the largest supply of green cheese in the universe.

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....

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...

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.

Earlier today the Supreme Earth Leader declared victory over the forces
of the moon. An unconditional surrender has been signed by the acting
leaders of the Lunar Peoples. This marks the end of the eons of tyranny
the Lunar People have inflicted against our planet.

As the announcement was made, already preparations are under way to
transport the survivors of our almighty bombardment to holding camps on
the earth where the remaining Lunar people will be treated with mercy
until their humane extermination.

Never again will the moon make slaves of us; humanity is free.

The moon it's self will be left in orbit as a memorial to the brave men of
the NASA military divisions who gave their lives for our lasting freedom.

Long live the Earth!
