Moon Crash, Moon Blast
Friday, October 9, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Moon Crash, Moon Blast, This obviously doesn’t qualify as “celebrity gossip,” but when the lunar surface is being destroyed — all in the pursuit of water — I like to talk about it. United States space agency NASA is bombing the moon in order to see what lies beneath its rock and dust surface. Oh — and this little “mission” is only costing American taxpayers a measly $79 million smackers.
Nasa’s LCROSS project hunted water on the moon by bulldozing two spacecrafts into the crater early Friday. The impact kicked up a cloud of debris that will be analysed for traces of water. The above video shows a simulation of the bombing, but you can head here for a play-by-play of this morning’s mission.
