You gonna be watching, Bev, as we do somemore littering on the moon? 
Youngest has her telescope all prepped and ready to go.  Shouldn't have any 
cloud cover or fog.

> LUNAR IMPACT:  This Friday morning, Oct 9th, at approximately 4:30 am
> PDT, NASA's LCROSS spacecraft and its Centaur booster rocket will
> plunge one after another into a shadowed crater near the Moon's south
> pole.  The spectacular double-impact will be shown live on NASA TV
> from the point of view of the LCROSS spacecraft.  Meanwhile, impact
> debris plumes emerging from the crater may be visible through backyard
> telescopes. North American sky watchers west of the Mississippi river
> are favored with darkness and good views of the Moon at the time of
> impact.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for observing tips and full
> coverage.

are
to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and
servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."  Theordore
