TWO crafts to crash in the moon in 10 minutes time

[nuune]

^^ With the right funds and instruments, Somalis can send spacecrafts there and even make manned-mission.

 

 

Laakin Soomaali baan nahayoo, dayaxa waan isku qabsaneynaa, heshiis ma jiro xataa in 238,857 miles away(dat is how far da moon is from our earth), not dat much when you look at it but needs right equipments.

 

 

JB, buuraha naasa hablood moon mission centre aynu ka aas aasno

Waar naasaha ha nagaga ciyaarin ,,,,,

You can watch the whole video on http://www.youtube.com/NASATelevision.

 

Not as exciting as I hoped!

[nuune]

^^ dat is only one video yaa Sue, the event was captured by many ground and space observatory telescopes.

 

 

It was really exciting when I was watching the live event at midday today.

 

 

Now they are gathering data that was collected by many observatory ground controls, even da Hubble Space Telescope in orbit capturd exiciting images.

 

 

But the bad thing is, the spaceraft missed the crater it supposed to crash into, both crafts landed not far from the planned crater.

 

 

Still, it is a milestone.

I was listening the Radio, and the news was telling the headlines as follows: ...And why NASA is bombing the moon...(stay tuned). Hadn't heard it before, I would have thought, 'hold on, when did Taliban get there?'. Sensationalist Journalism. Gaalo waa wax xun sheeg.

 

By the way, I'm worried about the retaliation ka quruumaha dayaxa degan. And I heard it somewhere that the Jinn, if it's Jinn that resides there, are way advanced than the humans. I'm hoping they'd know where the rocket was fired from!

Lool, jamaal is comedian.

nuune, you should consider becoming an astranaut.

haha! NASA says it's "crashed" two spacecrafts ("at twice the speed of a bullet")...but that sounds like bombing to me The US military could learn a thing or two from NASA's PR people...

lol NASSIR, I am already into that field, currently doing Aerospace Engineering together with my CPL License.

 

 

lool@moon bombing, they missed da target by few meters, but the mission was success as it was da first of its kind, and da result would come out next few days or so.

[Paragon]

Lol, Nassir. Ninaan isku pri. school aan wada dhigan jirney ayaa duhur markuu qarax-kuleel darteed u socon waayo ku duceysan jirey: Illaahoow Qoraxdu meey soo dhacdo, ooy dhulka baf ku tiraahdo.

 

Later waxaan ogaaney in a science class that the sun is way bigger than he thought. Wuxu umaleyn jirey ineey kubad la egtahay.

 

Illaahoow qoraxdu ha soo dhacdo afkiisa laga ma maqal.

 

Hadda aniga Bisha haddeey taataabtaan ineey nagu soo faniinto sida masaar daabka ka soo dhilqatay ayaan ka baqayaa.

[NASSIR]

Lol jamaal.aniga xataa beri samaadkii waxaa u maleyn jirey in qoraxda gees ka soo baxdo, na dul marto kadibna godkeeda u hoyato oo aay seexato. There's a lot of mystery in the field of astronomy, interesting nevertheless.

 

Nuune, a friend of mine is in that field: Aerospace Engineering . Very good and challenging career path. I like the Aeronautical Engineering (design and make of aircrafts). Good luck.

Splash! NASA moon crash struck lots of water

 

14/11/2009

 

LOS ANGELES — The lunar dud for space enthusiasts has become a watershed event for NASA.

 

Spacecraft that crashed into the moon last month kicked up a relatively small plume. But scientists have confirmed the debris contained water — 25 gallons of it — making lunar exploration exciting again.

 

Experts have long suspected there was water on the moon. So the thrilling discovery announced Friday sent a ripple of hope for a future astronaut outpost in a place that has always seemed barren and inhospitable.

 

"We found water. And we didn't find just a little bit. We found a significant amount," Anthony Colaprete, lead scientist for the mission, told reporters as he held up a white water bucket for emphasis.

 

He said the 25 gallons of water the lunar crash kicked up was only what scientists could see from the plumes of the impact.

 

Some space policy experts say that makes the moon attractive for exploration again. Having an abundance of water would make it easier to set up a base camp for astronauts, supplying drinking water and a key ingredient for rocket fuel.

 

"Having definitive evidence that there is substantial water is a significant step forward in making the moon an interesting place to go," said George Washington University space policy scholar John Logsdon.

 

The October mission involved two strikes into a permanently shadowed crater near the south pole. First, an empty rocket hull slammed into the Cabeus crater. Then, a trailing spacecraft recorded the drama live before it also crashed into the same spot four minutes later.

 

Though scientists were overjoyed with the plethora of data beamed back to Earth, the mission was a public relations dud. Space enthusiasts who stayed up all night to watch the spectacle did not see the promised giant plume of debris.

 

NASA scientists had predicted the twin impacts would spew six miles of dust into the sunlight. Instead, images revealed only a mile-high plume, and it was not visible to many amateur astronomers peering through telescopes.

 

Members of the blue-ribbon panel reviewing NASA's future plans said the discovery doesn't change their conclusion that the program needs more money to get beyond near-Earth orbit. The panel wants NASA to look at other potential destinations like asteroids and Mars.

 

"This new and terrific result reassures us about lunar resources, but ... the challenges currently facing the human spaceflight program remain," Chris Chyba, a Princeton astrophysicist who is on the panel, said in an e-mail.

 

President George W. Bush had proposed a more than $100 billion plan to return astronauts to the moon, then go on to Mars; a test flight of an early version of a new rocket was a success last month. President Barack Obama appointed the special panel to look at the entire moon exploration program. The decision is now up to the White House, and NASA's lunar plans are somewhat on hold until then.

 

As for unmanned exploration, previous missions had detected the presence of hydrogen in lunar craters near the moon's poles, possible evidence of ice. In September, scientists reported finding tiny amounts of water in the lunar soil all over the moon's surface.

 

But it was NASA's Oct. 9 mission involving the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, LCROSS, that provided the stunning confirmation announced Friday — water, in the forms of ice and vapor.

 

"Rather than a dead and unchanging world, it could in fact be a very dynamic and interesting one," said Greg Delory of the University of California, Berkeley, who was not involved in the mission, led by NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif.

 

The LCROSS spacecraft only hit one spot on the moon and it's unclear how much water there is across the entire moon.

 

Scientists spent a month analyzing data from the spacecraft's spectrometers, instruments that can detect strong signals of water molecules in the plume.

 

"We've had hints that there is water. This was almost like tasting it," said Peter Schultz, professor of geological sciences at Brown University and a co-investigator on the LCROSS mission.

 

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who in 1969 made his historic Apollo 11 moonwalk with Neil Armstrong, was pleased to hear the latest discovery, but still believes the U.S. should focus on colonizing Mars.

 

"People will overreact to this news and say, `Let's have a water rush to the moon,'" Aldrin said. "It doesn't justify that."

 

Mission scientists said it would take more time to tease out what else was kicked up in the moon dust.
