nasa to bomb the moon

Nasa prepares to bomb the moon

Nasa scientists are preparing to launch a space mission from Cape Canaveral
carrying a missile that will fire a hole deep in the surface of the moon.

The aim is to see whether any traces of water will be revealed by the disruption caused to the planet's surface. Nasa will analyse the space cloud caused by the explosion for any sign of water or vapour.

Scientists expect the impact to blast out a huge cloud of dust, gas and vaporized water ice at least 6 miles high - making it visible from Earth.

If the search is successful it could provide vital supplies for a moonbase. The moon is mostly dry desert but ice may be trapped in craters which never see sunlight.

The unmanned Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite mission (LCROSS) will fire a Centaur rocket into the surface at twice the speed of a bullet.

An accompanying spacecraft will orbit the moon for a year looking for possible landing sites for astronauts. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will spend at least a year creating the most minutely detailed map of the moon's surface ever seen.

The vessel swill be the first American spacecrafts to make a lunar trip since 1999.

Astronomers have long thought that a rain of comets brought water to the arid, lifeless moon over billions of years.

In the past few years, at least two American spacecraft reported the presence of water by detecting hints of hydrogen and oxygen - the constituents of water - frozen deep in the darkest recesses of craters around both the north and south lunar poles.

And here you are trolling youtube..... keep talkin out of your ass. Some may find it entertaining. But then again, some may find it annoying.

[a2zhandi]

@YungCrip63 er I think it's kinda like 186,000 miles per second.

A hologram? Some say the sun is actually Jesus himself!

[VanguardGames]

@YungCrip63 I know that, everything they say is a lie.

[YungCrip63]

@a2zhandi tehe moon was pulled into orbit not to long ago ancient scriptures recorded it jus tryin to shed the light my friend if u need help il put u on right path

[YungCrip63]

@VanguardGames ha how do u know moon controls the tides do u personally know this....also do u knwo the suns a hologram ?? nasa space misson went off to space couldnt find THE SUN how can tu find something 500 times bigger than earth in space....also the 'scientists" state speedof light is the fastes speed ever nothign can go quicker 180000 or some shit..then they say a solar flare WHICH is a ELEMENT goes 200000 lightyears how can a element be faster then light?? jus shedding the light people
