NASA Bombed the Moon, All Doomed

Seriously. They even opened a play-by-play Twitter just for the occasion.

Quote:

In what sounds like the plot of a Bruce Willis movie — but is in fact a real scientific experiment on a grand scale — NASA is preparing to plow a satellite and its booster rocket into the surface of the moon on Friday morning, to see if there is any sign of water in the two dust clouds created by the impacts.

How useful do you think the results of these impacts will be?

I wonder what's gonna happen to our tides.

If you have a moderately powerful telescope you should be able to see the impact for yourself.

Well, if they bomb it hard enough, we'll know when there are no polar ice caps and the tide comes in.

Sorta like how Piccolo destroyed the MOOOOOOOOOOOON.

EDIT: Dammit...already beat to the tide thing huh?

If this affected the tides, it would be a major faux pas for NASA. But I'm no rocket scientist.

You would have to take a gigantic chunk out of the moon to have any effect on tides. Considering that objects much larger than LCROSS and Centaur have hit the moon over its existence, I wouldn't be worried. At all.
