NASA Plans to Smash Spacecraft into the Moon 176
djasbestos writes "NASA is planning to smash a spacecraft into the Moon in order to look for hydrogen deposits in the poles. More notably, it will impact with significantly greater force (100x, per the article) than previous Moon collisions, such as by the Lunar Prospector and Smart-1 probes. Admiral Ackbar was unreachable for comment as to the exact location and size of the Moon's thermal exhaust port."

Be even more embarrasing it it missed completly. Most ammusing though if it orbited the moon once and crashed back onto the launch pad...

Allah'u to his friends.
The thermal exhaust port weakness was on the first.
If someone shot a proton torpedo up your exhaust port, you'd have a moment of weakness too.
