NASA Moon Crash
Just been Watching it on NASA TV on line
On a very slow broadband connection.
I'm a right in saying it was a"non" event and pictures showed jack........
If so what a waste of 79 Billion Dollars.
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

I watched it too on BBC News channel and I'm totally underwhelmed!
The funniest thing was one of the chaps in mission control. They had just finished crashing the following camera carrying satelite into the moon and
he runs round the desk, unplugs his laptop power supply, rolls it up quickly, chucks it in his rucksack, has the obligatory look around for anything
else he really must remember and then is 'on his toes' sharpish out the door! 
It had SWMBO and I in hysterics!

Apparently there was a lot of clapping from the NASA people, so I guess it was good news. Diffucult to tell at this early stage.

Regardless of how successful it was, its 79 Billion Dollars spent giving people jobs and wages, people seem to forget that fact very easily.
I’d rather that any day than 79 Billion Dollars spent in the armed forces to bombing and killing people.

Good point!
If you're going to drop things out of the sky and create localised havoc makes sense to do it on an unoccupied (one hopes) piece of land!!

also its the money spent on science (like space travel and other things) that improves technology on earth too.

So America have successfully bombed the moon.
Its a good job we don't have a Space Program or you could guarantee they'd have killed half a dozen of our Astronauts

We do need this type of exploration.

..actually far short... the BOE have already owned up to 175 Billion of QE! Now add that to all the bank bailouts, toxic debt purchase, greed, etc.
and heaven knows what the real number is.
Probably staggering, and something the UK will be paying off for very many decades... assuming UK PLC produces anything that anyone out there
wants....
Turning on, tuning in, and soon to be dropping out (HBOS now want to repossess my house following redundancy, so not too many options left).
Give me a job in the Post Office, quick!
