When nasa blasts moon will it be on television?”
*Watch video and see pictures below* Here are all the details on how to watch NASA bomb the moon on October 9 in a dramatic search for water in space. See a preview of the blast, then watch it LIVE from earth or on the web. As we wrote here, the LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite) mission will send a missile traveling at twice the speed of a bullet to blast a hole in the lunar surface near the moon’s South pole. This isn’t a declaration of intergalactic war: The missile will hit the lunar surface at the moon’s South pole, an area scientists estimate may have billions of tons of trapped ice. NASA has released an incredible video simulation of the explosion. Watch it below, then scroll down for more information on how to view the actual blast. The actual impact will occur early in the morning on October 9, and there are two ways to catch the rocket’s blast: First, you can watch a live TV broadcast of the LCROSS mission on NASA TV, which is scheduled to start streaming a
NASA smacked two spacecraft into the lunar south pole Friday morning in a search for hidden ice. Instruments confirm that a large empty rocket hull barreled into the moon at 7:31 a.m., followed four minutes later by a probe with cameras taking pictures of the first crash. But the big live public splash people anticipated didn’t quite happen. Screens got fuzz and no immediate pictures of the crash or the six-mile plume of lunar dust that the mission was all about. The public, which followed the crashes on the Internet and at observatories, seemed puzzled. NASA officials said their instruments were working, but live photos of the actual crash were missing. Some select photos should be ready by a 10 a.m. press conference, they said. But so far all NASA had was “images on the way in,” said NASA spokesman Grey Hautaluoma. Expectations by the public for live plume video were probably too high and based on pre-crash animations, some of which were not by NASA, project manager Dan Andrews told
