LCROSS Impact Countdown thread

Your logic has a basic flaw. If that were true, then NASA should have added the plume as a special effect, and not disappoint legions of Americans (the taxpayers, where NASA gets its money) who woke up at 4:30AM just to watch the event on LIVE TV and get disappointed.

yeah i saw this on foxnews... tho not as exciting as the schumacher-levy comet impact on jupiter.
but it's still cool how it took 4 months to get to the moon, from lift off to impact.
and even if they find water ice, it's not a renewable resource like it is on earth. it will eventually run out, and they'll probably have to mine it like oil on earth.
stop wasting money NASA, not now, not in this economy.

Wow.. they've finally got the result of the impact.

"There is WATER present in our moon".

It took them more than a month to analyze the data... that's how meticulous they are in scrutinizing the result.
