Alfred Webre, at the Examiner, who appears to have watched entirely too much Star Trek growing up. This is exactly why I don't read Examiner sites...
Actual details of the very interesting LCROSS mission are available at Scientific American.

We must be very careful her... (Below threshold)1. Posted by jim m | October 8, 2009 1:10 PM | Score: 8 (8 votes cast)
We must be very careful here not to violate the human rights of extraterrestrials.
In other news: we should deny health care to conservatives.
Glad the left has its priorities straight.

Figures, Al is from Seattle. Probably the victim of one too many acid trips.

Oh Seattle...
Where we can't salt the roads because the resulting salt water run off might get into the ocean and make...it...salty...
Yeah. That explains it.

I get it now!!
So when Ghandi walked to the ocean and made salt he was perpetrating an act of evil?
Therefore in the New Left Math...
bombing the moon = violating human rights = EVIL = man made salt = Ghandi
Bombing the moon will make us Ghandi.
Now I'm confused again.

One of the Moon landing astronauts made a statement to the effect there was a Santa Claus. Some have taken that as code for there being something on the Moon we cannot know about. Just sayin.

First off Stevie, "fact checkers" stroke their information to suit their party. See: Media Matters.
This whole moon thing is freaky. I know it is no big deal, but when I release my imagination I can see underground moon people feeling the explosion and then they say "alright, we let them orbit us, land on us and ride their little car around, but now they are bombing us". (tongue off cheek) ww

I am sure most of us are aware that this is hardly the first thing we have intentionally crashed into the moon, and not anywhere near the biggest. Most of the Ranger probes, the Surveyor "crasher" stage, all the Lunar Orbiter mapping satellites, the LM ascent stages, the huge Saturn S-IVb rocket stages, Lunar Prospector (for the same reason. although it didn't work) and any number of foreign probes. I would guess at least 100 discrete objects.
What disturbs me about this story is that the people worried about it are so ignorant that they don't know any of this happened 40+ years ago.
