1 Its the principle foremost.

2 Our stupidity has been balanced over the years by higher intelligences.

3 So what do you think the asteroid belt is then and how it got there !!!

[ifyoufly]

There are so many people who are deluded by science fiction, conspiracy theories, and misinformation. Many thought of this mission as something, by even slight error, that could irreparably damage the entire moon and life on planet Earth. Do you have any idea of the impossibilities that exist to accomplish anything even close to that purposely, let alone accidentally? This reminds me of y2k, the large hadron collider, 2012, and Hale-Bopp. Give a bit of thought to your fears!

[UngaNica]

Thanks for your comments guys.

1. There was no nuke on the moon. No nuclear missile or explosive. Think of it like throwing a river pebble to a huge vast volcano.

2. And yes, before protesting about something, try to do a little real research on the topic. You may really be surprised about the huge amount of information you don't know.

[Zaphodox]

we should use up the worlds nukes and make a set of new craters spelling out the words:

"Anyone out there?"

[Ozop102]

hopefully we can get good enough data to help us finally build a station on the moon. If NASA doesnt get raped by budget cuts...the next 20 yrs could be very exciting.

Save the moon? seriously? Does anyone else feel the whole "save the moon" protest was stupid and ignorant?

I hate hippies...

[sacha4you]

Ozop102, I guess, NASA will be raped rather by the conspiracy cult than by buget cuts. Remember, when conspiracy nuts took over the UAP topic (and filled it up with shocking secret 'truths') US congress pulled the plug for SETI.

nixter1nixter1,

go to nasa search: lunar reconnaissance orbiter (LRO).

then link to apollo 12 surveyor 3.

[summerstarsful1]

This is cosmic Vandalism. Stop it NOW Get ready for earthquakes and hurricanes as a direct result of mankinds folly.

[mejw1]

you are an idiot lol that rocket is like a sneeze on a car, NO DAMAGE lol

[fenderbendur]

lol why, because god will smite us? grow up.

[Zaphodox]

It's not vandalism....using the moon to knock mercury into the sun in some deranged game of interplantary pool, that would be vandalism.

[SNUBNOSESAM]

I've got a fever and the only cure is blowing up the moon with a high velocity cow bell made of cheese!!!!!!!

[nixter1nixter1]

NASA, Please image the Apollo Moon Exploration sites, perhaps some information of scientific value will be gained, the surface layer was disrupted significantly and with a little luck some interesting data will be gleaned. It will be gratifying to have fresh scientific evidence to silence the moon landing conspiracy "lunatics." Those who deny the Moon landings are low information types in general, they will never be convinced, but it will be fun to kick a little "Moon Dust", into their faces!

[DVAFP]

people who deny the moon landings are a very small minority, i do however think that nasa is hiding a lot and i wish they'd put better cameras on these missions.

[dgleason2]

did you notice this video is dated April 29th on the NASA site????

[StatelessPerson]

It's going to get a LOT closer, when it comes up from below the Moon Oct. 9 (LOL)

By which time, we should have some real close shots from LRO...

[irradiofreq]

I wished LCROSS would have been closer but it's cool to see ... thanks for posting the pics.
