I cant see it either and i'm not from angola Yep, Sk-gaming seems to have a screwed-up image viewing system. I can see the picture on my desktop but i can't see it on my laptop unless I google it first. No hard feelings fanatacist man, didn't mean to make fun of your country or anything. | ||

No. Bombs (C4, gunpowder, TNT, etc) have their own oxidizer. That means they don't need any extra oxygen to detonate. If they needed the oxygen out of the air, then any "bomb" would just fizzle because the concentration of oxygen in air isn't too great (Like gasoline burning). But you don't need bombs for this experiment.. because: You can just accelerate an object to fast speeds and just ram it into the moon. For example, a kilogram of TNT exploded releases 4.184 × 10^6 J. But a object that is 1Kg traveling at 2892 meter/sec (Or ~6500 mi/hr) can do the same job. And in space travel, those speeds are not really hard to reach. Plus, with the second method, you don't have to worry about the mechanisms for detonating the TNT working. | ||

So far, no. The lcross team refers it will take "days" for full analysis (why? they need to analyze the data from several sources and over time: http://lcross.arc.nasa.gov/water.htm) You can follow details at http://lcross.arc.nasa.gov/ | ||
