Topic: Operation:Get all up in the moon's face

Well NASA's going to launch a rocket to crash into the moon in 1 hour and 20 minutes as I write this. http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/world/6189613/lunar-crash-will-h...
What's your opinion of this and how do you think people are going to react until it actually hits?
In my opinion (Based on releases given by NASA and various scientific societies) it's going to be a relatively straightforward mission, unfortunately as evidenced by a lot of recent events (Swine Flu, The US election) a lot of people are going to get way freaked out and start proclaiming "The end is nigh!" and when it finally happens and nothing occurs they will be left feeling silly. This will lead to:
1) A further understanding about the structure of the moon and our solar system and
2) A truckload of hilarity.

Next up on Fox's "World's Greatest Crashes." Ahh, if only I had been better at math, then I could have been a rocket scientist and blow something up on the moon too.

Ah that was fun. A nice anti-climax.

Just watched it hit, and as usual, to the innocent public that was probably a bit of an anti-climax. All those NASA scientist will be getting very excited about it though, as am I, what with all that data and stuff. I hope the results were positive, cos if their are sufficient traces of water on the moon, it would make the moon a perfect pit-stop for lengthier missions, stopping off to collect water or fuel.

I wish I was spaceman.

I thought the landing itself was awesome, I was just disappointed there was no mass hysteria. Thats always entertaining.

I laughed at the title of this topic.

I'm a little paranoid the moon might launch a counter strike now though.

Hilarious video although Sarah Silverman ruined it.

So what was the final outcome of this mission? Was Osama hiding in a moon crater?

some people seemed to think we were like attacking the moon or destroying the whole thing not realizing the purpose of the mission.

that mr show clip is great. I love when the monkey asks "why?" Its amazing to me that its dated as airing in 1997.
