NASA sent the LCROSS spacecraft to the moon on the 9th of October to hit a crater, in hope to find frozen water. To much of their disappointment they hit a dead end with no water. NASA’s principal investigator, Anthony Colaprete says that they saw an impact when the LCROSS spacecraft hit the moon, but he does not mention the fact that their scientists mistook craters as water droplets on the moon. http://news.rediff.com/report/2009/oct/12/nasa-moon-bomb-hit-dry-hole.htm.

NASA stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, this organisation is an American government agency. The main aim of NASA is to give people more information about the solar system and any given changes in it, http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-nasa.htm. It baffles me why this organisation would go out of their way to go and bomb the moon, spending so much money on the project and fail to obtain their objective, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8245409.stm .

Is this really the time for exploration in space when there is a global recession? What does the American president, Mr. Barack Obama have to say about this? President Obama has given NASA the go ahead to bomb the moon and he has promised the American people that there will be no harm on the forms of life on the moon. I think it is absolutely ridiculous to be spending money on unsuccessful space ventures when people are suffering because of recession; it raises the question why would President Obama win the Noble Peace Prize.
