At US time 4:31 a.m. Pacific time (7:31 a.m. Eastern time), one piece of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, LCROSS, slammed into the bottom of a crater at 5,600 miles per hour, excavating about 350 metric tons of the moon and leaving behind a hole about 65 feet wide, 13 feet deep. (from NYTimes)
so now i suppose we'll be back on the track of exploring the Moon....because there is claimed to be hydrogen down the craters....
hola!...moon aliens!

ReplyDeletesure....
ReplyDeleteand since there are Martian migrates, I suppose their is Moon aliens.....
into trash, no of course not.....there are detectors or cameras on the crashing thingy
It is not trash. They are testing to further determine the lunar composition along the pole.
ReplyDeleteno Thomas, they are testing if there is water or anything else on the moon. they slam the rocket onto the surface and which will create dust, and then they analyze the components in the dust particles. That's what I heard when CNN played what NASA was saying during the mission.
ReplyDeleteYes, analyzing the components would reveal information about the composition...
