NASA spacecrafts to deliberately crash into moon

Two NASA spacecrafts are to crash into the moon at full speed today, on purpose. The twin GRAIL space laboratories has been mapping the moon's gravitational fields in tandem since January. NASA took the decision to hasten the spacecraft's end stating it is a case of a mission very-much accomplished. Al Jazeera's Tarek Bazley reports.

Yes it does,, you are just to stupid to understand,, The moon landing hoax is an intelligent test,, and you fail.

Sad day for you, but don't worry, stupid people like you are probably happier that way.

[itsasin1969]

You are a very ignorant and lazy person. Look it up. All your arguments are self refuting. The two space craft were never meant to return to earth. To prevent the 7 in a million chance of hitting something important, they crashed them. Your disrespect of science/scientists (some who gave their lives) is obscene and sad. Science is the best thing EVER to happen to Man and you wouldn't ever be here to spew your ignorance if not for science.

Be ignorant if you want, but try to drag others with u

Why do people who are anti-scientific come on the internet to spew their bull shit? Do they not see the irony?

America claimed 'squatters rights' of the moon's entire surface many decades ago. Therefore, America can do any damn thing it wants, the moon is sovereign lunar land and rightfully belongs to the United States...

Had China or Russian claimed the moon as their own, there would be more serious implications right now, but since the moon is just another United States territory, it's perfectly legal to dump.

If China or Russia ever do this, there will be fines and/or imprisonment for illegal dumping.

You are one retarded sand monkey.

as far as i know all the claims of supposedly "fake pictures" have been debunked by experts and there just is no controversy left when it comes to the pictures. So please give me a source for it, and i will try to find a source that debunks your source. So what specific images, and what are the issues with these?

[mogem]

I agree---some are.

[kaddiharrow]

Then why did they had to fake the supposed pictures that they have taken on the moon, you don't need to do that if you really went to the moon. secondly if you see the the blastoff of the lunar module on its supposed trip back home, it looks ridiculous and cheaply done like a movie made in the 1940. So i don't know if they went or not but those pictures don't look credible

well, maybe. at two other locations on the moon such mirrors were placed by unmanned missions. But still, the mirror appeared at exactly the right time. Another thing that convinces me is the size of the rocket and the amount of fuel. compared to just putting a sattelite in orbit, it requires a hugely bigger rocket and something like 10 times more fuel minimum. And it fits, the rockets are huge enough to make such a mission possible. what a waste if it would be fake!

[itsasin1969]

Here we go again, another lazy and ignorant person talking about something they have no right to be talking about. I would suggest you take your own advice and look it up.

The radiation dosage the astronauts received was significant and risky, but not anything near fatal doses.

No, there is no conclusive evidence that NASA faked the moon landings, because they didn't fake them. There is, however, a huge amount of incontrovertible evidence that they did actually land on the moon.

Stupid.

[itsasin1969]

maybe if you had something intelligent to say, maybe we could have a conversation.

[Reilly Slater]

What about the fact that we have laser reflectors on the moon that send back a the laser to record the time it takes for the light to travel.

Do a little more research.
