Moon Bombing III

No big flash from NASA’s moon crash

Scientists analyze readings sent back from impact for signs of water ice


Pictures of the impact zone were beamed back live to Earth, but the video imagery did not show any signs of a flash.

"It's hard to tell what we saw there," said Michael Bicay, director of science at NASA's Ames Research Center in California.

This set of NASA images, taken Oct. 9, 2009 by the LCROSS shepherding spacecraft, shows the Cabeus crater (center of images with smaller crater on rim) just after a Centaur rocket stage was due to crash into the moon at 7:31 a.m. EDT in a hunt for water ice. Starting from top left and moving clockwise in these images, the LCROSS probe draws ever closer to its own impact after the first hit. Credit: NASA TV.


Now, the important question is ... WHERE ARE THEY GETTING ALL THIS MONEY, NOT ONLY FOR MOON MISSIONS, BUT FOR MARS MISSIONS AS WELL?
