So yes, 20 minutes and we can see what happens to the moon when a NASA satalite fires a probe (i think) into the moon in order to shoot up dust and let us know if there is water in there.
Countdown: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LCROSS/main/index.html
Stream of the action: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html
ETA 17 minutes 40 seconds..

I don't think Carl Sagan will approve.

First Afghanistan, then Iraq, now moon.
Those bastards!!

First in Afghanistan, they blew shit up to see if bin Laden was there. Then they blew shit up in Iraq to see if WMDs were there. Now they're blowing up the moon to see if water is there.
Where will it end?

When the moon kills us all maybe :P
ETA 7 minutes.

Maybe they're actually just looking for Hawk Hawkins' body.

if we wake up some aliens because of that...
just remembered i called it!!

And its done, nice and anticlimatic..... lol

it is science!! you didn't expect some huge fire blast did you? :)

Would it be so wrong to expect a little bang for me to see? :P

God, I havn't played hearts in ages...but I am not American either.

It won't. It'll just accelerate when we dig up alien artifacts in Mars' polar regions and find out that Charon is a mass relay.

this happened like 3 hours ago and I was sleeping.
what happened?

It crashed. It sounded cool.

Yeah, pretty much. We're supposed to get a report on whether there is actually water later today, or tomorrow.
