On a serious note, though, I fail to see much benefit from this experiment. While I seriously doubt this "bombing" will cause the moon to fall off of it`s general course, it still seems like a heavy-handed way of conducting research. Plus, even if the suspicions of water being on the moon are not unfounded, wouldn`t the impact potentially cause some of the water to be drawn out into space and thus be accidentally lost? Considering the impact finding water on the moon would have for future space exploration, it seems like a bad way to go about looking for it. I loved your article in the OP. | ||

What, you mean you teachers didn't tell you that the moon is the sole reason we have night and day? Fuckin' MORAN. | ||

This is the reason why now China, India, Korea, Japan and other countries are setting up or putting more money into their space programs. Uh I thought Nasa just pissed money away? | ||

I'm sure this crash bombing couldn't have a very significant effect on the moon though. | ||

This was in the 1980's iirc (might have been 1990's) and it was a joint venture with the Soviet Union/Russia to send a probe to Mars. Americans read the Soviet measurements as inches when they were in fact centimeters (or miles/kilometers, same principle), and ended up launching the probe too hard and it just exploded on Mars. GG. It was a multi-million, if not billion, dollar venture. | ||

Both the American and Soviet space programs sent spacecraft to impact the moon several times during the space race for various reasons IIRC. It's part of the process of returning to the moon. | ||
