NASA wants to bomb the moon?? It's a crazy idea...but yet effective. NASA is going to be sending two things at the moon: first they are going to send a rocket to blast a part of the moon, then send a spacecraft that is going to capture what happens after the rocket hits. They are hoping to expect water/ice to come out from under the moon. Hopefully bombing the moon doesn't hurt it in the end. But I think this is a good way to see what truths the moon holds, but is it worth $79 million? Especially during our economic struggle at the moment? I kind of feel like they should have waited a little... But at the same time this is a very fascinating experience that will lead to finding new things out about the moon. Hundreds of people are gathered in places and have been camping out all night to experience this moment. I know I wish I was over at Mountain View, CA right now with the rest of the people out there that are going to be enjoying a miraculous sight.
Here is a video that will show an animation of exactly how the plan is going to look like:
