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
