NASA to blow up the Moon

[Public]

Not literally, but this catchy title sounds better

http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/politics/NATL-RRNASA-to-Bomb-the-Moon-Friday-63598462.html

Wonder if it's one of those spam/prank articles, scavenging the net. But supposedly some fireworks are going to happen at this Friday (9th October 2009), and people with amateur telescopes might see it. It will also be recorder on camera.

What's your thoughts about this, before the big Americanz Explozions this Friday?

I recently purchased a 600 USD telescope that is pretty much only good for viewing the moon and maybe Saturn. I do plan on viewing this event, I'll try to snap a picture or two and post on here.

Found out, from my secret informer, the impact will happen at 12:30 in GMT timezone (which is in England for example).

Edit:
NASA will be showing it on their NASA TV website

Whats going on? They are going to shoot the moon? But I like the moon! What did the moon ever do to you!

Hmm... I'll have to dig out the ol' telescope, I doubt it would be visible with the naked eye. Maybe some news station will have video (its every day the moon is shot with a missile).

Its pretty simple really. They want to blow it up cause There are Nazis on the moon! Buy War Bonds!

 

[Maphusio]

Yeah I So missed this... so no picture.

Trouble is, they've gone and done it and so far the data they've recovered is poor!

All that money for nothing!

 

[Crni Vuk]

I always said we should use the moon as a cheap way to get rid of our nuclear arsenal we dont need anymore (like outdated missiles).

 

[Dragula]

So when will we know if they found any water?

When you will post that picture then please let me inform
I am very curious to see that.

You think the responsibility of documenting this event with pictures falls solely on Maphusio? This isn't Soviet Union, this is US of A.

 

[Public]

...this is US of A.

United States of Asshats?

Wonder if any pictures can be found on the net.
