For thousands of years, mankind has marveled at the majesty, even worshiped, the moon. That all ends tomorrow morning, when NASA puts the smackdown on Luna and stars blowin’ some shit up.
Of course, we’re not actually blowing up the moon, per se. I hope. The LCross Project’s mission is to find out if there is water on the moon. Some of the more worried Earthlings are keen to point out that we already know there is water on the moon, but why get hung up on the details? NASA’s already built the frakkin’ rocket and they’re not letting those tax dollars go to waste!
The best part of this whole spectacle? We get to watch the spectacle — LIVE. Ah, internet, I love you. Starting at 6:15 a.m. EDT/3:15 a.m. PDT tomorrow, NASA will have a live broadcast that will include footage from the spacecraft camera, animation, and expert commentary.
Soooo much better than sleep.
Here’s a helpful video from Spacevidcast explaining the mission:
we’re doomed.
No, Anime – we’re being mooned…
NASA ALREADY KNOWS THAT THERE IS WATER ON THE MOON AND HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME IT’S ANOTHER FALSE FLAG DO YOU THINK THAT ICE STAY’S CLEAR OF THE MOON PEOPLE HAVE SHORT MEMORY’S HUBBLE PICK’S UP WATER MILLIONS OF MILES AWAY.DIG ALITTLE DEEPER?
Well, I got up at ass-crack (4am) in the morning to watch this, and it was pretty underwhelming. Shame on me for expecting a Michael Bay multi-explosion extravaganza on the moon.
