The planned October 9, 2009 bombing of the moon by a NASA orbiter that will bomb the moon with a 2-ton kinetic weapon to create a 5 mile wide deep crater as an alleged water-seeking and lunar colonization experiment, is contrary to space law prohibiting environmental modification of celestial bodies. The NASA moon bombing, a component of the LCROSS mission, may also trigger conflict with known extraterrestrial civilizations on the moon as reported on the moon in witnessed statements by U.S. astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and in witnessed statements to NSA (National Security Agency) photos and documents regarding an extraterrestrial base on the dark side of the moon.

If the true intent of the LCROSS mission moon bombing is a hostile act by NASA against known extraterrestrial civilizations and settlements on the moon, then NASA and by extension the U.S. government are guilty of aggressive war which is the most serious of war crimes under the U.N. Charter and the Geneva Conventions, to which the U.S. is subject. The U.N. Outer Space Treaty, which the U.S. has ratified, requires that “ The moon and other celestial bodies shall be used by all States Parties to the Treaty exclusively for peaceful purposes. The establishment of military bases, installations and fortifications, the testing of any type of weapons and the conduct of military manoeuvres on celestial bodies shall be forbidden.” 98 nations have ratified and 125 nations have signed the U.N. Outer Space Treaty.

NASA’s LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) mission

The NASA LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) mission, which departed on Earth on June 18, 2009. According to one report, “Flying over the moon's southern hemisphere, LCROSS will use its high-precision instruments, as well as close-up images of the terrain gathered by the lunar orbiter, to seek out a crater just shallow enough and dark enough to be a prime bombing target.

“There, acting as what the Ames team calls its "shepherding spacecraft," LCROSS will guide an empty Centaur rocket weighing two tons toward its target. The rocket will crash into the crater at 5,600 mph, creating a new crater - perhaps as large as 5 miles wide. The crash is scheduled to occur Oct. 9.”

The two-ton Centaur rocket qualifies as a space-based kinetic weapon. The reason alleged by NASA for the mission is that “the [LCROSS} probes will map possible landing sites and search for water sources that could be used by a future lunar colony.”

According to NASA, “The Mission Objectives of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) include confirming the presence or absence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater at the Moon’s South Pole. The identification of water is very important to the future of human activities on the Moon. LCROSS will excavate the permanently dark floor of one of the Moon’s polar craters with two heavy impactors in 2009 to test the theory that ancient ice lies buried there. The impact will eject material from the crater’s surface to create a plume that specialized instruments will be able to analyze for the presence of water (ice and vapor), hydrocarbons and hydrated materials.”

lol extraterrestrial civilizations and a 5 mile wide crater

It will be interesting when Oct 9 rolls around, that's if the effort to prevent it hasn't worked.
During the Apollo missions, a small booster was jettisoned onto the Moon's surface, and apparently, the Moon rang like a bell for half an hour. So is it hollow? Some people think so. I'll have my telescope out for sure.

People should know their limits instead of playing around, bad move on NASA's part in my opinion.

there's also a theory that earth is hollow but no matter if earth or moon, that's highly unlikely. and imo it's ok what nasa does, science mainly consists of playing around without knowing what will happen, that's exactly why we do it.

what if by any miscalculation they alter the moon's tilt? Or its orbit, if ever so slightly?

mass of the moon m(m)= 7,349·10^22 kg (wikipedia), velocity before hit v(m)=0 (of course it moves but we're looking at an frame of reference located at the moon's centre)

rocket: m(r)=2366 kg, velocity on impact: v(r)=2500 m/s (nasa data)

conservation of momentum: v(r)*m(r)+m(m)*v(m)=(m(r)+m(m))*v(res)
=> v(res)=v(r)*m(r)/((m(r)+m(m)))
=> v(res)=8,049*10^(-17)m/s
=7*10^(-12)m/day

that means the moon will travel about 1/100 of the diameter of an atom per day faster than before. the whole thing is comparable to you being hit by about 100000000 neutrons. no problem at all.

edit: after thinking about it again, even that little effect might cause mayham. but a guy in a science related forum put it right during an discussion on lhc destroying earth:

"The way I figure it, coolness increases in proportion to size. The LHC has a circumference of 27km, thus, it is already friggin' cool. The only way to make it any cooler is to collide particles at close to the speed of light, possibly destroying the planet. The sheer amount of coolness produced by firing that thing would be worth it."

same with shooting rockets into the moon's dust ;)

I'm guessing you didn't take this off NASA's own site? ;-)

In fairness, we've @#$%& up Earth so bad at this stage we might as well start again with a clean slate.

A huge comet hit Jupiter, but only an amateur astronomer cought it, how did they missed it?

most observations like this are made by amateurs - maybe because they tend to invest a lot more personal time into observing.

true, but still, Jupiter is not an average planet that you can just stop seeing, i mean it's so full of surpises and it's moons and everything... i don't know

Astronomers have their own agenda and a lot of people and effort is put into a very limited amount of subjects so the rest is largely ignored. Right now they're probably still studying supermassive black holes, black matter and maybe some more on neutrinos, and planet-wise they're probably studying Saturn's moons and all that jazz.

Happy 40th anniversary, Moon landings!

It's pretty common for amateurs to spot these things. Space is so vast, even professional outfits can only look at so much at a time. Plus their telescopes are often unwieldy and take time to move from one part of the sky to another, whereas amateurs have more easily manouevrable equipment. An amateur astronomer named Robert Evans holds the record for most supernovae discoveries:

Also happy birthday moon landings! It's amazing watching all that footage now, so incredible to think that 40 years ago, man made the ultimate leap and made some of the best, most advanced science fiction movies out in the Arizona desert somewhere... ;)

just stumbled across that footage, first 20 mins of a shuttle start filmed with an onboard camera. includes crew communication. i think it's quite cool + some funny commets by the crew during launch. obviously they had a small problem as the master alarm turns on after liftoff
