Is there a reason why they should mention pasties? :confused:

As for the man in the moon, it's going to hurt. Sorry.

trust those americans to think of something to blow up

Berserker · 8 Oct 2009 at 22:27

Maybe they think they'll find the Iraqi WMD there.

PS - there won't be any blowing up as that would defeat the science.

LCROSS Separation!

Watching the live stream, and up to a few minutes ago one of the video feeds consisted of a Notepad window into which a countdown status was being manually edited. NASA spent millions on the mission and they can't even manage an automatic countdown. LOL!

Update @ 03:14 - no problems reported during separation. Everything seems to be on target.

Damnit! Missed it, just watching now, well....I say watching, nothing's happening :confused:

bit of talking but the video is showing an image that's not changing

Edit: 'Good Seperation, see you at 3:15am' written in notepad, haha

That's what US tax dollars buy you!

Whoa - nice big error in the manoeuvre there. Not a surprise though - it's effectively a brand new spacecraft now.

So not happy with destroying our own sphere without realising the long term effects, we then exploit others.
