NASA Moon Bombing VIDEO — NASA LCROSS Mission Hunts For Water On Moon
This obviously doesn’t qualify as “celebrity gossip,” but when the lunar surface is being destroyed — all in the pursuit of water — I like to talk about it. United States space agency NASA is bombing the moon in order to see what lies beneath its rock and dust surface. Oh — and this little “mission” is only costing American taxpayers a measly $79 million smackers.
Does this sound like a bad idea to anyone?

Nasa’s LCROSS project hunted water on the moon by bulldozing two spacecrafts into the crater early Friday. The impact kicked up a cloud of debris that will be analysed for traces of water. The above video shows a simulation of the bombing, but you can head here for a play-by-play of this morning’s mission.

NASA is stupid. Why look for water on the moon? So that they can consider building a base there? Why build a base on the moon? Really stupid of NASA to even consider this. I hope their next mission fils misirably.
