What? It's taken a missile 3 years to reach the moon? Is it even a missile? Could you be more clear?

The articles I've seen don't really say what the satellite was doing, but I get the impression that it had another purpose in space for a while, served that purpose, and is now going out with a bang, for Science! It's not a missile though. And it wouldn't take 3 years anyway. The Apollo missions made it in days, and they had people to worry about. Plus, they were 40 years ago.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking about when I first read this post. The Apollo took days so there's no way in hell a missile would take three years, especially with updated technology.

ZAM! lol, they are doing it to check if there is water (i just saw the news). honestly, i dont believe in messing with such things, can only lead to harm. If it aint broke, leave it alone.

I don't really understand this. If we went by the "if it ain't broke, leave it alone" logic, then there would be no technological advancements ever. Personally, I think I'd rather side with scientific advancement.

I'll have to agree with you here. Plus, I'm sure NASA are being very careful with what they're doing. They wouldn't be reckless with something like the moon. I'm sure the impact won't be a significant enough force to actually cause any harm.

EDIT: Just saw this on another forum I frequent:

'"The impact has about a million times less impact on the moon than a passenger's eyelash falling to the floor of a 747 during flight," said Daniel Andrews, LCROSS project manager.'

Seriously guys? How could this affect the moon in any negative way? You think it's going to blow a significant crater in it or something? It's a small spacecraft.

I'm far too lazy to wake up that early to watch it. I'm sure it'll be online somewhere.

They report that they have all the info they need, and seem extremely happy about how it went. No word yet on water or no water. It would be interesting if there was, because then we would have a fuel source to set up a moon base, the first step toward a mission to Mars.

WTF is wrong with people? Only a F***ing tard would think there is water on the moon! Dude the moon broke off the Earth millions or billions of years ago before we had water on the earth and the moon has no atmosphere. So how in the F*** would they there is anything there? You have any idea has bad this is? what if they cracked it? Or messed with the rate it spins? one of 3 things we lose the moon or we get own oceans messed up, or it crash land you die.

Unless the story of why is a lie. Even still I don't think they have the right to bomb the moon they don't own it.

Since when were you smarter than some of the best scientists in the world?

I,m not smarter nor i,m I smarter than an inbreed hillbilly and the scientists aren't smarter than the hillbilly none are equal none are less or more. Maybe I,m wrong but I don't believe you can compare knowledge

When did I ever call you an inbred hillbilly?

Plus, a scientist is smarter than a mentally ******** person. You can't argue with that, it is fact.

With that kind of logic, we wouldn't be sitting here arguing at this moment and instead be in a cave, pleased that you survived a day.

And besides, if they didn't find water, but instead found massive amounts of hydrogen, they can make water.

I don't see the point of throwing away millions of dollars to see if the moon has water.

its stupid because the moon has no atmosphere. it cant rain. the water would just be used untill there is none left.

what REALLY gets me is the fact that they had to bomb it. they EASILY could of done a ultrasound

Sound doesn't travel in space, so an ultrasound would not work. :ohwell:

correct me if I'm wrong lol

Because if there is, we can use that as fuel (car that runs on water?) for the moon base. Only then can we hope to ever send a manned mission to mars.
Ok, let's just say that NASA does find ice. What then? How are we suppposed to melt that much ice? I say we shoot a laser at it...
