What are you doing? The Moon is our moon. You must ask the world permission.

Why does NASA think they can do what they want? Especially when they try to blow up the moon... Something does not add up! Why was the public not told about this in advance.. Maybe we would have said "no way" ... and why has the news media not informed us of what has happened now? Sometimes we the people have a say in what happens to the place we call home.. Go spend all the millions on feeding america and paying off our debts... Thanks NASA for informing everyone who live on this planet .. prior to bombing OUR MOON....I hope my children's children are here to talk about this day!!

dear NASA, have you not remembered what the Navajo said in
reply to you, when they were asked by the first astronauts
to land on the moon, they said " yes, tell our stellar family,
don't let the bela-ga-ana make a mess up there, upon our
grand mother ". and now you want to explode a rocket into
her to look for water, are you not content with making a mess
of our mother the earth, now you want to do the same to our
grand mother, where is this gonna stop ?
if you and the crazy politicians and scientists want to leave mother
earth in order to find some other planet to colonize !! then please
be our guest, only in some other galaxy far far away, and leave
us who love our earth mother alone to cherish her once more, as
our creator the great mystery wished us to do so from the beginning.
yours bewildered, Matt King.

There is some negative publicity on Twitter about this mission. I don't think people are aware of how long similar operations have been going on. It's not like NASA's going to upset the universe or knock the moon out of its orbit. I have grown up admiring the space program and the amazing knowledge gained through the years by NASA. As a little girl I watched the first moon landing in 69. If water were on another planet I would be proud that my country was the first to discover it.

What would Nasa and these companys do if life from another planet started firing experimental rockets into Earth? Just because we can't see life on the moon from down here on the Earth, dosent mean its not there trying to survive in those environs. Will this mission come back and bite us all one day in the future. Someone told me when I was young, that the cures for today problems somtimes become the problems for our tomorrows.

Seriously, this sounds like a bunch of bored kids at a playground playing with explosives. If there are regular naturally occuring impacts to the moon already, why do we need to spend the resources to cause destruction intentionally/ artificially?

This project is done with poor judgement and taste.

I would like to know what time (EDT) the impact is to take place. I should be able to witness this with my telescope.Events like this are rare, especially if you know they are coming.

thanks

Sounds like NASA doesn't understand the law if physics. You know, where every action has an equal and opposite reaction. What a joke!

Have we humans not done enough damage to our earth without bombing the moon? I understand the curiosity, but not the necessity. Maybe we should try taking care of what we have. And the cost...don't even get me started on that.

How is again that this "bunker buster" will fire? "It the cornerstone of understanding the birth and evolution of Earth and other planets, therefore we need to explore it." Why? What good could it possibly do us?

I don't understand what right NASA thinks it has to hit the moon with a missile. You are completely right we do not know enough about the moon there fore it seems utterly stupid to blast it with a missile. The moon is far to important to Earth to be merely played around with, the moon controls our ocean tides and helps our non-sperical Earth remain in orbit. Is there even proof that the moon is not semi hollow? And is it just me or does it seem like we shouldn't be blasting things with missiles that we depend on for survival. Hhmmm let's use our brains for one moment. If we want to really know if water exists on the moon why don't we go back to the moon and land on it "again" (if we even went to the moon the first time). It just doesn't add up to me. I don't know when you asked the public for permition to bet their lives just to find out if there is water on the moon but if you want to go and ask them again I'm sure you would recieve very interesting answers filled with colorful vocabulary.Because in case you haven't realized, even if their is water on the moon how will it help us out on earth? I didn't know that by having water on the moon we could house the homeless, give people jobs, feed the hungry or maybe fix the economy. Seriously we have much bigger problems than knowing whether or not the moon has water! News flash NASA you do not own the moon or anthing else in the universe and you never will. And heaven forbide if there are other life forms in space how they might react to the United States blasting their moon, thats right it would be just as much their moon as it would be our moon, I am extremely dissapointed in NASA's lack of pre-notification to the public and frankly if this mission goes wrong I would like to tell all the scientists who came up with this "brilliant" idea to go to ****.

I think you SHOULD have put a longer observation time of plume and then flying through it and another longer time period to send data. 4 minutes seems a short amount of observation time. Also, acc to your own maps there is MORE water-ice measurements around the North Pole area...why hit the South Pole with LEAST amount of water?

i hope you know what you are doing...sounds scary. can the moon get knocked out of it's orbit? silly question?

Good luck LCROSS and boldly go where no one has gone before.

This is interesting! I think there should be more wrtten about and reported on these types of things in the main stream media, not just after the fact. Except for here. Speaking about the Moon how many people are aware that this December there will be two full moons in one month? Hence one in a Blu Moon. Many people today seem to forget about the big picture of the univers out there, all around us.

The moon belongs to the human race not NASA or the U.S.A. Can you be that arrogant as to not to ask the world permission to plow your rockets into our moon. It's our future NASA is about to exploit. No doubt their will also be profit to be made with whatever is found on the moon and no doubt it will go into NASA's coffers and not the human race. Get your government to reduce your pollution output if you want to "discover" how to save the human races future first and learn to ask the world permission before you mess with our universe.
