Earth’s closest neighbor is holding a secret. In 1999, hints of that secret were revealed in the form of concentrated hydrogen signatures detected in permanently shadowed craters at the lunar poles by NASA’s Lunar Prospector. These readings may be an indication of lunar water and could have far-reaching implications as humans expand exploration past low-Earth orbit. The Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission is seeking a definitive answer.
In April 2006, NASA selected the LCROSS proposal for a low-cost, fast-track companion mission to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). The main LCROSS mission objective is to confirm the presence or absence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater near a lunar polar region.
LCROSS launched with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on June 18, 2009 at 2:32 p.m. PDT. The LCROSS shepherding spacecraft and the Atlas V’s Centaur upper stage rocket executed a fly-by of the moon on June 23, 2009 (LCROSS lunar swingby video stream coverage) and entered into an elongated Earth orbit to position LCROSS for impact on a lunar pole. On final approach, the shepherding spacecraft and Centaur will separate. The Centaur will act as a heavy impactor to create a debris plume that will rise above the lunar surface. Projected impact at the lunar South Pole is currently: Oct 9, 2009 at 4:30 a.m. PDT. Following four minutes behind, the shepherding spacecraft will fly through the debris plume, collecting and relaying data back to Earth before impacting the lunar surface and creating a second debris plume.(via nasa)
WOW! This probe business is popping up everywhere! This is crazy. Don’t believe the hype like I once did people. Get reliable news sources. BREAK FREE!!
Although, I’m not privy to insults and name calling via impersonal Internet threads, I will have to retract my statements concerning this NASA probe business. I based my opinion on an, admitedly, flimsy news source which sensationalized the event, therefore throwing me into a tantrum of epic blogging proportions. I did not fact check and my impulses got the better of me. Lesson learned.
Thanks Muto, thanks Maitz.
Idiot out.

Teenyvators
which you think?
JeetKuneDope
This is so fucking, outrageous.
Teenyvators
haha.
JeetKuneDope
It’s awful.
There’s so much we don’t understand about the planetary bodies surrounding us, to jsut go a fucking blow shit up.
It’s horrible.
Teenyvators
that’s exactly how I feel.
JeetKuneDope
Someone at NASA didn’t read Rendezvous with RAMA
It’s reckless and idiotic. I wish I could stop this.
It’s not like we need desperately to know that there is water on the moon.
I guarantee you this is a coverup for something.
Not to sound like a conspiracy nut, but it’s got to be some other type of operation or construction project up there.
Teenyvators
hey america look at the sky why we do shit at the white house.
JeetKuneDope
If they could so easily get a surveyor ship and a rocket out to the moon, you gotta think about how close we actually are to the moon’s surface at any given time. Or what other type of missions and operations have been enacted under the capabilities of NASA and the US government.
It’s just horrible.
Teenyvators
I know. I showed my friend the link and his first reaction was awesome and I have telescope. I was like really? This is awful.
JeetKuneDope
In the article it says so astronauts could have drinking water and to create rocket fuel.
That’s bullshit.
I bet they found oil up there or something.
This isn’t a mission for science. It’s a dig.
Teenyvators
that’s what I think. we don’t need water, but america loves it’s oil.
JeetKuneDope
It’s gotta be something shady like that. It’s just so vague and inconsequential. This is like the weather balloon explanation for the Roswell craft.
That shit may not have happened, but I can damn sure tell you that it wasn’t a fucking weather balloon.
Teenyvators
oh stephen is all worked up.
JeetKuneDope
I just hate this. It goes beyond the spirit of exploration and scientific research. Oh god where is Carl Sagan When we need him the most. May the Cosmos forgive our petty, shallow ignorance.
*Sigh.
There are no words to describe how horrible an idea this is. I weep for future generations who have to read about how selfish, ignorant and misguided we are as a planetary culture.
Fuck NASA. Fuck America.
