Did NASA Litter the Moon Or did aliens Shoot 'em down ?
Either way I think the Moon men should be upset
unless they can recycle the $496 million probes.
Twin NASA spacecraft smacked into a mountain on the moon Monday at 3,760 mph, ending a mission measuring lunar gravity. The space agency will name the mountainside landing spot for the probes after the late astronaut Sally Ride, who was part of the mission's science team.
The Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission probes, called Ebb and Flow, flew in formation over the lunar surface to map its gravity from an altitude of 34 miles. The planned impact capped a mission that found hardened veins of magma buried in the moon's thinner-than-expected crust.
