NASA Invites Reporters to Events for LCROSS Lunar Impact


MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. – NASA is inviting journalists to events this week in Washington and California to observe the twin impacts of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, and its rocket's upper stage as they impact the moon. The goal of the mission is to search for water ice on the moon.

The satellite and upper stage both are scheduled to hit a permanently shadowed crater of the moon, four minutes apart, at approximately 4:30 a.m. and 4:34 a.m. PDT on Friday, Oct. 9. NASA Television coverage begins at 3:15 a.m. PDT

NASA will hold a pre-impact media teleconference on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 11:30 a.m. PDT from NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif. NASA will provide a mission update and discuss what to expect as the Centaur upper stage rocket and the LCROSS spacecraft impact Cabeus crater, near the lunar south pole. Briefing participants on Oct. 8 are:
Daniel Andrews, LCROSS project manager, Ames
Anthony Colaprete, LCROSS project scientist and principal investigator, Ames
Jennifer Heldmann, coordinator for the LCROSS observation campaign, Ames

We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky.

[wrex]

It's from The Time Machine.

the **** version obviously.

Did they really re-make it? I was wondering where that came from. When i saw the first one i didnt remember that.

How can you not remember it? That 1 minute section was the best part of the whole movie.

Pretty sure there was a lot in the remake that wasnt in the original. It was a pretty disappointing film.

'Bout time.
The moon's been a bit cocky lately.

We have to fight the Mooninites there so we don't have to fight them here.

Is finding water on the moon really that important?

It is if we want to build a lunar base.

The Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday that it will re-evaluate the health effects of a popular weed killer that has been found in drinking water supplies.

Thats always good.

No good can come from this. If we somehow mess with the moon's orbit, we'd be pretty screwed over here.

Weapons of mass hydration?

Seriously? Some of you people are seriously thinking that a littly bitty tin can being plinked into the moon will have any negative effect at all? Have you seen any of the craters on that thing? You think those huge craters were made by things smaller than the tin can they're throwing at it tomorrow and the moon is still in it's present orbit? Wow.

That's why I said if. To say that it's not possible is something I really don't believe in.
