this sounds like it will be pretty cool - anyone have a big enough telescope (ten inches and up only I'm afraid boys) to see the magic happen?
Are you sure 10 inches will be enough for that? I had a 4-inch Newton once ;)
Anyway, I think it needs to be much bigger than 10 inches.

Just going on what the internet says. I've looked at Orion's crotch through a ten-inch dobsonian, and you can see the whole star-forming stuff going on there. I would imagine a ten-inch lens would let you see something hitting the moon.

I like comment that this is all a cover-up for the testing of 'hypervelocity rod bundles'.

Do they really want to start a war with the Clangers, with their death rays, deadly dangerous soup dragon, and metal chickens.
Never mind that, are they trying to piss off the
Mysterons?

It should be, since AFAIK we don't even have rockets able to reach moon anymore.
Then how did they get Spirit and Opportunity to Mars in 2004?
I got up early in order to watch the impact on NASA TV. Wow, they SERIOUSLY need a high-quality stream, because the best they've got is a 320x240 windows media player stream. What is this, 2002?
We'll see what happens. As is par for NASA, they manage to make anything potentially exciting absolutely boring when you're watching it live.

Hehehe, someone wanted a High-5. He never got it :laff:

Hah, I noticed that, too! That must have been pretty embarrassing for the brah-itist.

So early indications are that it didn't even raise a dust cloud. Shit.
