Aftermath of the lunar crash

After my blog entry of 9/8, I thought it was only fair to bring you an update on the LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) mission.
1) The impact occurred right on schdule, producing a crater 60 feet wide and 13 feet deep.
2) Scientists got good measurements, and think they have the data they have to address the question of whether or not there's ice in the permanently shadowed areas of the lunar south pole, where the sun hasn't shone for at least 2 billion years.
3) It will take awhile for the scientists to analyze the data and answer the question, possibly months.
4) The impact(s) failed to produce the huge plume of debris that was expected, prompting some to speculate that the craft may have hit rock, instead of ice.....over time, we'll see.
