The third stage of the moon missions was fired to send them towards the moon. After extraction of the LEM, the stage continued on to smash into the moon. After Apollo 11, they analyzed the impacts with seismographs they left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dib Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Wait, I'm confused. I read an article that stated NASA doesnt have enough money to send manned missions back to the moon. So other than for academic knowledge why spend 79 million dollars to see if there is ice/water on the moon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I thought of this. Hmm, too bad I don't have a telescope. That's the scene I thought of also when I heard about this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 We actually did something similar with the Apollo missions, but couldn't aim it or have the instruments to analyze it. The third stage of the moon missions was fired to send them towards the moon. After extraction of the LEM, the stage continued on to smash into the moon. After Apollo 11, they analyzed the impacts with seismographs they left. Not many people know that the day before Apollo 11 landed on the moon, the russians accidentally crashed a probe into the moon, in an effort to "land before us" and transmit data from the surface before the moonwalk.
