moon experiment

The top part of an old rocket will impact against the Cabeus crater at 5,600mph, causing another crater about one third the size of a football field. You can see it live on NASA TV or possibly see it on the news (hopefully). If you have a big enough telescope(10'') you can see it for yourself! Or If you reside in San Antonio, you should visit the scobee planetarium.

This make no sense we are in a recession and its hard to throw a way 79 million dollars .who the hell cares if there is littel green men ,throw that money to what we owe china . sorry i dont like tho talk about politics but that is a waste on money and time. we got people having a 32% of an aids cure in asia but were looking for water on the moon come on .

I'm sorry for jacking the tread this would be nice to see .

Its exploration for mankind man. Forget China, we need that money here.

Anyways this was planned a while back before this recession even started. At least we get to see our taxes get blown up instead of not knowing where it all goes HAHA!!!

what the gov.\nasa isnt telling you is theres heaps of hellium 3 on the moon.

hellium three is used in nuclear weapons to increase there payload in 10 folds...

its all about killing people really, not for the furthement of mankind or its exploration. if we can beat our competitors there, well you do the math.

dont be easily fooled by our government and its willingness to help its citizens out.. see the patriot act.... whats left of of the the so called "freedom" we have has been long gone....

well, for what it's worth, i'd rather it be the USA at the head of the perpetual arms race.

face it, corruption is in every nook and cranny of the earth. we just handle it better than everyone else. but that may change now...

i remember when it was cool to root for our own country. now we don't want to show poor sportsmanship. go figure. well, jump in the hand basket everyone. you know where it's going already.

Well I think it cost $79 million but it's not real money. USA can print money with out gold back up. The more money they print the lower dollar value. For the rest of the world, the currency a country can print depends on the gold reserve it has.
