Vroomtattat 2nd Gear October 9, 2009 Share October 9, 2009 (edited) Yup! It's taking place this evening around 7.30pm local time. (9 Oct 2009) This probe is going to crash into the moon in an effort to determine whether water exists. Stay tuned to the NASA website for a "live" feed of the crash! BOOMZ!

Hermitage 1st Gear October 9, 2009 Share October 9, 2009 COOL!!!!! Thanks for the info bro! Am actually contacting the Science Centre observatory to see if they are gonna watch this event tonight. At present, no one from the Star Gazing team is answering the phone but I have left a message for them to call me back. Can't wait for tonight!!

Plusnplus Neutral Newbie October 9, 2009 Share October 9, 2009 Here is the link : http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LCROSS/main/index.html another thing, hope, nasa will stop explore moon, once after impact, no result/ evidence of water at moon. my opinion better focus on mars that already have evidence have water. really can not wait for human to touch the mars land Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermitage 1st Gear October 9, 2009 Share October 9, 2009 Haha! Don't think any Alien would wanna hibernate on the moon of all places...life, in any form, would have one common goal in general...Survival! If a species managed to make it to our moon from another planet, they would have to be far more advanced and technologically superior in every way. They wouldn't be content with hibernating on our moon, they would have invaded Earth thus answering the age old question: "Are we alone?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they can hook up the telescope and show on a big screen! That'll be great . . . . I may want to buy a pair of bino to catch the action, no point setting up my Celestron 127mm telescope, it'll take ages Hope this will not dislodge the moon from it's orbit or split it into 2 . . .

Valenz Neutral Newbie October 9, 2009 Share October 9, 2009 We dun need aliens to invade us, imho we're doing a pretty decent job of destroying ourselves, the earth and now the moon. Well done folks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can confirm this fact, astronauts could set up a station/rocket launch facility there and virtually "live off the land" without the need to bring water up from Earth. Water can be used not only to quench thirst, but to supply oxygen, electricity and even rocket propellent for the trip back home. Look at the moon from a different perspective. Don't view it as just a boring old hunk of rock, but instead, try to imagine it as a lauchpad facilitating human exploration of the solar system! It is much easier (and cheaper!) to launch equipment & stuff from the surface of the moon, than it is from the surface of the Earth. Everything weighs only 1/3 of what it would weigh on Earth! Setting up a lunar facility would be like a springboard for us to explore interplanetary space, and would bring us that much closer to an actual manned mission to the Red Planet !!

Watching it on a television screen even though 'live' cannot compare to seeing the real thing with your own eyes ! Brudder, just a mid-sized telescope lah . . . . bought it a year ago but only set up once for practice purpose only. Was down at Singapore Science Centre's observatory and peeped through their telescope to take a look at Saturn . . . . incredible!! The giant planet was so tiny and it was WOW!!

Will definitely go see Saturn next year! Were the rings visible? Hey, you wanna go Science Centre tonight as well? No news from them yet but think I'll go down anyway...
