  • As was previously reported by GeekDad writer Lonnie Morgan in the article “Crashing Into The Moon For Science”, and earlier this morning by Dana Bostic in Ways to See the LCROSS Crash on Friday Morning, NASA’s LCROSS mission is destined to make an impact on the Moon. The mission objective is to search for signs of water in the crater left behind by slamming a Centaur upper stage into the lunar South Pole. We are now into the final countdown for the LCROSS impact. Scheduled for impact into the crater Cabeus at 7:31 a.m. EDT this Friday (October 9th), there are plenty of opportunities to witness this historical event live!

    (using SDK v1 R2)

    It's not perfect, since i need to delete the entire conversation, but for our purposes, it's a sufficient compromise as we will at least know all messages will be looked at and verified.
