[..YouTube..] Congratulations all team of the NASA, we hope that with this mission we obtain important data of the moon that we want to know
[..YouTube..] congrats nasa for wasting 583 million tax payers dollars
[..YouTube..] after 9 Apollo missions now they need to find out wether there is water on the moon or not?? Come onIt’s a covert operation. There’s something different going on up there. The cabal guys are ruling the agency from within
[..YouTube..] Are these people professionals?
I thought NASA runs simulations before important events like this. They all sound like they are running this for the first time!
Cross talk, asking for confirmation at the last minute.
DAMN!
[..YouTube..] 9:11 denied!
[..YouTube..] Blow the ******* **** up!
I’m sick of the man in the moon, time to get even.
[..YouTube..] This mission was done with an incredibly small budget and an incredibly small staff. This was the cheapest way to determine if there was ice frozen in the permanently shadowed craters. Stop criticizing the LCROSS team if you don’t have the mental capacity to understand the mission or it’s importance…
NASA gets a fraction of 1 percent of the federal budget and is doing amazing stuff with it that has profound effects on the future of mankind. Pick something else to blame your problems on.
[..YouTube..] A success for NASA, congratulations!
By Sonor
[..YouTube..] i went to OMSI to watch this live,but they were out of room in the auditoriuom so we couldnt watch it.but i was on the radio and we got to watch people saying:nude for the moon!,2 moons are better than one!,and stuff like that.
[..YouTube..] lmao, that was hilarious. The highlight of the video. XD
[..YouTube..] No es por nada, pero la NASA ya no es lo que era… la sala de control parece un simple cibercafé con ordenadores a la última, poco más…
[..YouTube..] 50 years ago Russia ‘scared’ to US into the ‘space-race’ and the US responded with it’s Apollo prgrams. 40 years ago the US “pretented” to go to the moon…now I am glad they really did it this time!! I hope Lcross did not destroy any ‘equipment’ we supposedly left on the moon, LOL!! Where are the HD pictures from Lcross?! Hhhmm! Nasa could have had the moon crawling with non-human robots by now, all at low cost, funny how they never did this! We could have ‘buckets of water’ from the moon now!
[..YouTube..] Tienes razón. Lo que pasa es que para el gobierno de EU es más importante la guerra y otras cosas que la exploración espacial. Les dieron muy poco presupuesto para ésta misión.
[..YouTube..] “You’ve just wasted the last 15 years of your life dick head. We fucked it up.”
[..YouTube..] This is a lie of the ………., they try to justify the public’s expenses and military men’s expenses with these supposed missions …. they have spent a fortune trying to find water …. jajajaja…. they should worry in that we have in the planet
[..YouTube..] if the wanted to get water for sure they shuld have shot up a MOAB bomb..HAHA
[..YouTube..] Seriously, AnimePlanet7? Wow… boys and girls, we have a prime example of ignorance.
[..YouTube..] i didnt see s….t!
[..YouTube..] Psst. You can see the equipment on the moon with the right gear.
Idiot.
[..YouTube..] there is robots being sent to mars for decades now….. so do you really believe nasa couldnt make it to the moon back then???
ignorant fool
[..YouTube..] Obviamente por que todo es mas practico gracias a la tecnologia.
[..YouTube..] Espero que no hayan desviado la orbita de la luna, si no estamos en serios problemas.
[..YouTube..] so how did the mirror get up there which we bounce lasers off to measure the jitter of the earth as it spins?
[..YouTube..] For all those of you saying USA hasn’t been on the moon, I just say this.. “If the USA didn’t go,, then NO ONE ELSE HAS BEEN THERE EITHER, ,NOT RUSSIA,, NOBODY. =\
[..YouTube..] No creo tio, ya que la luna es impactada por meteoritos mas grandes y con mas fuerza que este “cohete” como la gente le esta llamando.
[..YouTube..] De todas maneras la luna no es propiedad de la NASA, es mas bien de toda la humanidad. ****The moon does not property to the NASA but a common good of all humanity
[..YouTube..] Yo se que no es propiedad de nadie, ni de NASA ni de nosotros los humanos. Pero que podemos hacer xaval? Solo cruzar los dedos y esperar que estos tipos no se zarpen con sus experimentos que se les ocurre a cada momento. =\
[..YouTube..] En principio lo que podemos hace es contactar con tipos mas sabios que vos y yo juntos y tratar de comprender entre otras cosas como es que van a encontrar AGUA?? … Porque lo que si sabemos, es que la luna controla las mareas entre otras cosas. No es joda este tema
[..YouTube..] Like Frank Santra said, ” Fly me to the moon”.
Lets do it again, let every one reach their dreams of being on the moon.
At any cost!
[..YouTube..] que tiene que ver que quieran encontrar agua congelada debajo de la superficie con que las mareas dependen de la gravedad lunar?
[..YouTube..] jaja yo se. Es mentira eso de que buscan Agua, solo ellos saben que tanto hacen alla arriba. Yo personalmente no me trago ningun cuento de lo que dicen los gobiernos, en fin……… No se si escuchaste sobre el descubrimiento de helio-3 en la superficie de la Luna? Dicen que puede ser una alternativa fuente de energia para la tierra y capas que “eso” es lo que mas bien buscan pero claro, no quieren decir nada para que el resto del mundo no sepa, y por eso dicen que buscan “agua” .
[..YouTube..] realmente nos quieren ver cara de estupidos. haha. si hay agua porque no mandar a un serhumano a buscarla? igual por lo que dices, que solo ellos saben que tanto hacen alla en el espacio. los gobiernos mienten empesando con los estados unidos. pero al fin no ganamos nada en saber los secretos que esconden. haber cuando nos visitan los ET’s del universo. hahaha. gran commentario.
[..YouTube..] Y mas aun! , sabemos desde tiempo que no hay oxigeno en la luna, entonces porque habria agua?
[..YouTube..] la luna es propiedad de quien pueda atterizar en ella o estudiarla con satellites avansados. esa teoria de que la luna es de la humanidad como que no va. si no hay nada de valor para que ir hacia ella? la luna pertenese a NASA.
[..YouTube..] Amigos, la luna pertenece a la humanidad !!!, no solo nos alumbra de noche, provoca las mareas y mas. Que pasaria si desviaramos aunque sea muy poco su orbita???
[..YouTube..] Buena pregunta…pero creo q se necesitaria un impacto muy grande para poder desviarla…
[..YouTube..] Quien les dijo a estos de NASA que son dueños de la luna tambien, encontrar “AGUA” lo que pasa es que no tienen donde hacer sus pruebas, de donde sacar dinero ó lo que es peor en que gastarlo.
[..YouTube..] tengo entendido q el agua se encuentra en estado solido en las regiones polares lunares , si aun existe ahi es porq nunca les llega la luz del sol por eso se mantienen como fuentes de hielo sucio.
[..YouTube..] lame!
[..YouTube..] No es mi intencion menospreciar el fundamento cientifico de este experimento, pero me acabo de enterar que los norteamericanos planearon este bombazo a las 4:30 hora del Pacifico, un horario optimo ya que es de noche y los aficionados seguirian el evento con telescopios. Ademas La NASA ha vendido la misión de la LCROSS. FUENTE :RTVE
[..YouTube..] Did they found water? I don’t think so! Oh wait! Is a money wasted pool being spotted on the moon surface!
[..YouTube..] NASA is a disgrace, is this the best images they can do?? and they said they landed men on the moon in 1969??
NASA is keeping all the good stuff “HIDDEN”
[..YouTube..] Obviously they are keeping the good stuff… that way they prevent other countries from doing their job that they worked hard on…
[..YouTube..] Was it intercepted or something? You would figure something smashing into the surface of the moon at 5600 miles an hour would make some kind of impact!
[..YouTube..] Ponganse a pensar, que hace el hombre buscando agua en la Luna? Acaso hay escasez de agua aqui en la tierra? De hecho, siempre existe la misma cantidad de agua aca, es question de ver el ciclo hydrologico. Aparte, si de verdad necesitan agua, que no seria mas facil y menos costoso, reciclar el agua que existe aca en los mares en lugar de estar haciendo viajes multimillonarios a la Luna? Abran los ojos gente, no buscan nada mas que ese Helio-3 que no quieren que nadie mas se los gane.
[..YouTube..] 9:06 is NASA high five fail!
[..YouTube..] El argumento esta basado en que si habia (AGUA) es para plantar futuras bases lunares. Pero sigo con lo de hace un rato, si no hay oxigeno no tendria que haber agua. Puedo estar equivocado pues no soy un cientifico.
[..YouTube..] lol
[..YouTube..] rofl
[..YouTube..] Doess anyone know what the clinical condition(s) are for these goons who fall for conspiracy theories? Is it gullibility, cynicism, fear of the new, what’s the profile of the clowns?
[..YouTube..] That all this is for good. It would be the wish of all
[..YouTube..] Which conspiracy theories do you speak?
[..YouTube..] Exactly. Who knows what will be the moon
[..YouTube..] hahahahahahhaaaaa, yeah, it’s really funny!
[..YouTube..] Looks like a high resolution still image zoomed in on, then near the end they flash a white screen…
Also – there was suppose to be TWO impacts not one. The second impact was suppose to be four minutes after the first.
Also – The “camera” was shaky. The moon doesn’t have Earths atmosphere so why is it shaking?
Seems like they could have done better (To me.. ).
Thinking for yourself or pointing out things that look afoot doesn’t make you a “conspiracy theorist”.
BTW: the second impact was the shepherding spacecraft – which had the cameras on it. Kind of hard to take pictures of THAT…

The best part of this video is after the shepherding spacecraft impacts the dude goes for a high five and gets left hanging.

lmao I saw that. Was fucked up.
yeah they need to place wireless video camreas on the moon, like image the impact! BOOM!! MAHAHHAHAA!! lol
but it would probaby take months years for the footage to come back lol
Wagging the Moondoggie
by David McGowan
google it explains faked landings.
Why have we lost the 1960′s technology, when we had men bouncing around on the moon. Those guys just got the job done with laughable props wrapped up with gold foil, and tied together with selotape. So why can’t we manage anything even halfway impressive now?
ok, so they only had grainy, B&W, half-speed camera work back then. And hi-res cameras that never picked up a single star. But we got stuff done back in the 60′s, eh ?
Where’s the spirit (not to mention the tech!) gone?
Weak!
What are you trying to say…. that we should send men to the moon just to look for water ice?
As you can plainly see it’s much safer and cheaper to do it this way, space travel is still ridiculously dangerous, challenger and columbia ring any bells?
The shuttle fleet is obsolete and will apparently be retired from service next year, after 30 years of use.
opr 10?!?!?!?!really what was the need?!? anyone see a dome like object like i do?
This is the most boring thing I’ve ever seen.
its called the government doesn’t want to show all of it’s technology to people yet. so they keep it a secret.
fuck nasa just because the scientist went to the moon dosent mean that they are their planet those fucking assholes just wasted billions of dollars to do their research over nothing wit tat kind of money can help @ least 5-9% people that they dying from hunger arround the world god is getting mad and thats why we are been punished by the economy
What was that explosion where they said “WTF” between 2:41 and 2:48 to the south-west area of the impact site near the bottom of the shadow of Cabeus?
With the United States having long led the world in both lunar exploration and blowing shit up, this mission couldnt have really been any easier, so it came as no surprise that everyone seemed to be brimming with confidence. President BlackBush, Nobel Peace Prize in hand, was reportedly heard to say: How do you like me now, motherfuckers?! Im going to bomb the motherfucking Moon! You all thought that punk-ass bitch that preceded me was arrogant? Watch how I roll!
I wonder who the guy in the black shirt who left around the 9 minute mark was? Such an exciting time, yet, no-one said goodbye to him and he didn’t say it to anyone else! He doesn’t look like part of the team to me!!
The guy who packed up and left in a big hurry is Mark Shirley, the payload lead and one of the scientists on LCROSS. He knew he had a press conference in 2 hours a bucket load of data to analyze!
Emory
super large couldron of feces
probably embarrassed that he was a part of whatever deception was going on
Fuck off, you worthless cunt. Nobody believes the moon landings were faked.
Let’s see it take us 8 years to get to the moon from scratch and now after supposedly going 6 times and with improved technology we can’t make it ‘back’ by 2020.
Too bad NASA ‘lost’ all the data from the missions.
Youvebeen, You have been lied to since birth, so have I. Please, with the language, nothing will be gained with anger. Read the series by Dave Mcgowan, then say the same thing. If you would have asked me a month ago I would have said we landed….six times…during a cold and hot war…with disposable craft every time….yeah sure we did.
Wagging the moondoggie by Dave McGowan.
No, you see, I believe in a little thing called science. Man walked on the moon, 6 times.
Dave mcgowan uses science too eh. Read it you will like it. Start with this one. Its 270 degrees in the sun and minus 300 in the shade. Those are some pretty magic suits huh?
Got to love how these guys talk science but believe in folding lunar rovers, lol.
Stupid bootlickers.
Oh we believe in folding lunar rovers and so we’re idiots? There’s one in the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. You can look at it from 2 feet away. It’s perfectly obvious how it folds up when you look at it.
Gotta hand it to McGowan, just destroyed the moon landing hoaxes.
It took us 8 years to land on the moon but 40 years later with vastly improved technology and all the knowledge from all the earlier ‘missions’ we can’t go ‘back.’ Hahaha.
I hope in 10 years or so we’ll have personal computing machines.
Now since they detonated, we have had hell weather here on earth. What two globes rule our wind and water. There is the reason why gestation is 28 days when it goes to 29 days you’ll know why. There is a reason why high tide is higher during a full moon. Who is the nut that allows these experiments and why?
We have enough water. We don’t need to travel to other planets. Soon we will be saying kill all the stupid experimental scientist!
its science!!! BAHAHA oh man
To the conspiracy theorists who claimed Jerry Garcia was not dead, I apologize.
@toechesse This was much to small to have the kind of lunar effects you are talking about. You need medication.
You missed one detail: Space Shuttle can’t go to the Moon, and other thing are now in focus, not some recreating walk 380 000 kilometers from Earth.
That’s science bitches, it works.
I still can’t believe this stupid ass old camera was there. What is it, like 1-2 frames per second? What century is this?!
What does fps have anything to do with this? The camera was obviously not intended to take Hollywood cut scenes on the moon -_-
Well I believe that they definatelly could put something like a web camera on there. Such a great shot is ruined by the FPS factor, in my oppinion.
Crappy cameras or crappy censorship. Either way, we’re fucked.
What did they tape a cell phone camera on there last minute for this!?
This is not the video NASA filmed. Im not fooled in the slightest.
