NASA says a spacecraft that was intentionally crashed into the moon has turned up the best evidence yet of water.

NASA bulldozed two spacecraft into the lunar south pole Friday morning in a search for hidden ice. Instruments confirm that a large empty rocket hull barreled into the moon at 7:31 a.m., followed four minutes later by a probe with cameras taking pictures of the first crash.

remember about the 1969 Apollo 11 mission to the moon:
“I was on an extended tour of Europe that summer, and we were in Rome. It was almost 100 degrees, and I was feeling a bit woozy from the heat. Two very kind Italians offered me water and a gelati. They did not speak English, and my Italian was almost nonexistent. But while I sat there, they talked on and on about “luna,“ gesturing wildly upward. They were as excited as I was. Later that night, we joined a large number of American college students in a very small restaurant to listen to the broadcast of the landing. Wine flowed freely that night!“

A former Virginian played a major role in the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Memories of details dim, but memories of impressions and feelings endure.

Moon” does something extraordinary: It seems familiar and derivative, yet it upends your expectations about science fiction and surprises you over and over. Melancholy and mesmerizing, equal parts mystery and character drama, it keeps you guessing until the end.  The intelligent, assured debut from director Duncan Jones—David Bowie’s son, though we won’t have to describe him in terms of his famous father for much longer—harkens back to the fundamentals of the genre, in which people and provocative ideas mattered more than shiny gadgets and splashy effects.
