Weeks ago we reported to you that there is water on the Moon as a research clearly showed that announced that NASA is working on a mission to crash a spacecraft into the Moon in order to make sure that there is water on our night watcher. Although it sounds weird and you might think that NASA is bombing the moon just for fun, that’s far from being true as the LCROSS mission is intended to confirm that there is water on the moon.
Tomorrow morning NASA is not going to split the Moon in half, neither it will change its orbit. NASA will crash a Centaur rocket and a smaller spacecraft called LCROSS into the moon in order to create a crater of 70 feet wide and 16 feet deep. The two spacecrafts will be crashed into the Cabeus Crater found at Moon’s south pole at a speed of 5,600 mph in order to eject about 385 tons of lunar dust and soil where the researchers hope to find water ice between the debris.
The Centaur rocket will be the first, and after four minutes, the LCROSS spacecraft will follow it. The latter will collect data thanks to its sensors and it will send it back to Earth where NASA scientists will look for evidence of water ice.
Please remain calm as the Moon will not be split in half and its orbit will not be changed. The Moon is hit each day with lots of meteorites, some bigger than NASA’s spacecrafts and everything is OK.

Where’s the kaboom?
There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom?
Oh dear, that earth creature has stolen the PU36 space modulator
