Dive Bombing the Moon
Early Friday morning around 7:31 a.m. ET, NASA is planning to crash a rocket into the moon. The collision is expected to kick up tons of moon dirt and debris that will then be scanned for signs of water ice suspected to be buried beneath the floor of a permanently shadowed crater at the lunar south pole.
If you are interested in watching the blast, you can watch it live on NASA TV at 7:30 a.m. ET. Out of curiousity, I’ll probably be up to see how it goes because I’ve always had an interest in astronomy as a kid. If it all goes according to plan, it should be pretty cool to watch. If it doesn’t then I guess that’s $79 million down the drain.
