NASA to smash its spacecraft INTO THE MOON
NASA's twin lunar-orbiting GRAIL spacecraft are preparing to smash into the surface of the Moon as a final send-off. The Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) ships, Ebb and Flow, will be intentionally crash-landed on the Moon now that their low orbit and fuel levels have ended their mission abilities. The crash …

Re: Couldn't they delay it just a little while?
There's something THEY DON'T WANT US TO SEE!
There was me thinking NASA only buried probes accidentally..
oh, I'm sure...
They applied the incorrect conversion calculations on purpose, because that's the easiest to make these things crash ;-)
Hey, proven technology, right?
There was me thinking NASA only buried probes accidentally..
See ,had they all stuck to good old feet and inches none of this would ever have happened
EXTRA! EXTRA!
NASA GOES BERSERK! TAKES REDUCED FUNDING OUT ON MOON!
It's because a SHADO moonbase has become overrun with aliens and must be destroyed without it being obvious what they are up to. Lt. Gay Ellis (RIP) was holed up in a cupboard and had to be sacrificed. I read it somewhere on the internet. (right here)
Would of been nice to put some landing gear on these things for when they were finished with thier primary missions. Then they could be landed and used as 2 well placed tools of science!
Too much like right I guess??
If I was Mars, I would be very very worried
about cosplatteral damage!
Newest crater on the moon
Gotta be named "Patrick Moore"
Re: Newest crater on the moon
Every time I read about this mission I was reminded about Tim the Enchanter.
I now think I am not only one
Why crash them where nobody can see it?
Sounds like they've got a little carried away with the video games in idle hours, science and engineering to the end, my foot.
Is there a knowledgeable person about who can explain why they are throwing the probes at a non-observable spot?
Re: Why crash them where nobody can see it?
Because there are no probes to begin with? </tinfoil-hat>
:-)
This is outrageous, how can we look up to a country and follow by example. Does Mandela and Obama know about this? Why would you want to bugger up something so beautiful? Hidden Agenda?
wonder if they'll release
all the super high res pictures direct to the public without any photo shopping...
