They're crashing an inert piece of mass into a pre-existing crater that was caused by a MUHC larger piece of inert mass hitting the moon much earlier.

Are you one of those dweebs that asks, What about the tides? Won't this affect the tides?" LOL.

What the fuck does it matter? They used a small enough piece so the resulting explosion wouldn't harm the satellite or send deadly pieces back to Earth. It was controlled, safe, and informational. And here you go and blow it out of proportion.

"but theres nothing to say that there isnt some kind of lifeform we cant detect and we go smashing something into the moon."

and @loocas,
seriously, lay off the crazy pills. "in the name of god?" who ever said that any war we ever participated in was "in the name of god?" and enslaving people? i'm guessing you're referring to the recent Iraq war here, well, guess what? they have their own democratic government, pretty much the opposite of enslaved. i'm pretty sure if you went over there most Iraqis would say they're grateful for what we did. and please, we're not stealing anyone's natural resources. i can't believe people go on and on about how stupid big conservatives are, but idiot radical liberals like you are allowed to run amok spewing your FUD.]]>Oct 9th 2009 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/Oct 9th 2009 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/]]>Oct 9th 2009 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/Oct 9th 2009 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/Oct 9th 2009 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/Oct 9th 2009 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/

T is the destination time, and minus is a progression towards T, so T-19 is sooner than T-15.

T+19 is 19 minutes after the event

Actually Centaur upper stages are known to survive the atmospheric descent and impact the earth. Of course that's from GPS satallites, so they would have much less speed than something from the moon. either way, don't underestimate the durability of upper stages :)]]>Oct 9th 2009 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/nasa-lcross-moon-impact-in-t-minus-15-water-discovery-expected/
