Where Will You Be for The Moon Bombing?
In July of this year a rocket took off from Cape Canaveral carrying LCROSS (The Lunar Crater Observing and Sensing Satellite) and began its journey to the moon. On Friday October 10th the rocket will release a missile headed straight for the surface of the moon. The missile is being aimed at the Cabeus crater on the moon's surface because it is likely that this location will show definite proof of water. If water is found the bombing will measure the proportion of ice to dust in the debris kicked up by the blast.
The impact will occur at 7:31AM EST, with the missile hitting the surface at 5,600mph and expecting a dust cloud thirty miles high. The creation of the Moon's newest crater can be seen from earth with telescopes 10 inches or larger. Much like the moon landing of 1969 there will be live broadcast events throughout the US for people to gather and watch this modern moon landing. NASA's website will also broadcast the events of the morning.

Prayers for the Moon
Bewildered
Couldn't have said it better Scott!
I can't help but wonder what the ulterior motive is here, and why nobody really heard about it before a few days ago.
exactly...
I can't help but suspect an ulterior motive as well. Does that make me paranoid? ;)

watching the live NASA feed
watching the live NASA feed now-- seems very scripted... actually just saw one of the speakers "turn his page."
"You have tasted death now," said the Old Man. "Is it good?"
"It is good," Mossy replied. "It is better than life."
"No... only more life."
NASA vs LUNA
Yeah I'm also watching it right now...
Poor Moon
Thanks Scott - I thought I'd be the only one thinking how arrogant, brutish, aggressive and insensitive we are. As long as the Moon is viewed as an inanimate, non-conscious, lump of dull matter orbiting the Earth firing rockets at it can be justified. If, however, we open our hearts a little and consider either the spirit of the Moon, or the spirits who live thereon, then such a thuggish mentality seems wrong.
But I guess if you suggested such a thing to NASA boffins, they'd laugh you out of town. Shame.
My 2 year-old daughter loves the Moon. If she knew that they'd been firing rockets at it, she'd be so upset. I'm upset. I think I won't tell her. I don't think she'd understand, anyway...
NASA miss the moon.
That was strange. A big build up, tension increases, we hold our breath, worry, peer closer, and...nothing. No fireworks, no dust plume. Just numb pundits.
Perfect. Thankyou NASA. Baudrillard would wet himself.
One Wonders.

The Esoteric Effect of Rocket-Moon
According to the Pleadians... The moon is like a transmition station that we can set an emotional frequency with. Send good energy to the moon! And start to program it to carry the love frequency on our earth plane.

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for.....oh, wait.
moon bombs
Hmmm, am wondering if we can concentrate our mind energy and move the "bombs" toward the White House and Congress.
I had received word of a whole meditation going on to change the outcome....I think it is possible, as we are the new pioneers, that it was our intentions that moved the energy so that NASA reported it as an Invisible Moon Impact... I really believe we will get a better handle on our ability to create as we become more conscious of our impact as a collective whole.
I am not very sure if this
