Moon Bombing!

NASA’s mission to bomb the moon doesn’t mean to split the moon in half or to change its orbit. The purpose of bombing is to check the availability of water in the surface of the moon. The moon explosion will occur on October 8, according to the New York standard time at 7:30 AM. Scientists expect the explosion to be so powerful and huge. The LCROSS missile mission will blast off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying a missile that will hit the lunar surface with the velocity as twice as speed of the bullet. The target is located with help of spacecraft that will guide the exact destination.
According to space scientists, the purpose is to check if any water or vapors is revealed after blasting. The aim is to avail the supply of water as much as they could in order to overcome the shortage of water for future. Although most surface of the Moon never receive sunlight. So, scientists identified the regions where presence of water might be found on the Moon
The spacecraft after identifying the target will send the missile into the Moon and taking pictures, analyzing the ejected debris due to the explosion and looks for the evidence of water. The spacecraft just have four to five minutes to collecting as much information before it crashes into the Moon itself. This LCROSS mission will be broadcasting live on NASA TV.
