This has been in the pipeline for some time, it's not the first time I've heard of this. As far as I understand it they are going to fire a projectile into the moon, about the size of a washing machine, and then another craft will capute data of what is thrown out into the atmosphere.
Official story is that they want to test for water, although I'm not sure many on here will believe that! Either way, the launch is today so hold on to your hats, should be interesting to see what comes back!

Yes. If this is true I am absolutely horrified. NASA does not in any way own the moon. Are they taking that little US flag they planted up there decades ago, this seriously? This is way, way, beyond their rights.
We haven't damaged the earth enough? Now they are going to start scarring the moon?
There has got to be more to this story. What is the stated purpose. I wonder how other nations are going to feel about this? It's their moon, too. Not that NASA gives a rat's derriere what other nation's think.
OK. now i'm mad.
and sad.

Well we are knee-deep in destroying the earth, so it must be time to begin destroying the moon, and while we're at it maybe we could blast a few holes in Mars too. Just to see what happens.
