From LCROSS shortly after Centaur impact...
Last frame from LCROSS video before it cutout... ....I think that the whole sequence was fantastic. Watching the Moon's surface rush towards us reminded me of the old footage of Ranger heading for impact. The anticipation/tension of the whole thing was great. Was anyone else leaning closer to their screen hoping to see something?...ANYTHING! There's going to be more data here than we can see right now. Let's wait for the press conference being held in about 90 minutes. In a way, I'm glad there was no 'flash'....that might convince some media/public that it wasn't a bomb! |
