Can't wait to see the impact! It's scheduled to occur this week on Friday, Oct. 9. Should be cool!

Damn, it's going to be EARLY in the morning on the west coast. I'll have to drag my rear end out of bed to see it live.

Thanks for posting this TC. Been wondering where the link was going to be. Wonder how close up we'll be able to see the missile impact the moons surface?

Well THAT was kind of a disapointment. I'm glad I didn't bother to drag my rear end out of bed at four in the morning. I was hoping for a bigger splash of debris or something more spectacular. I can't wait for the final pictures to be processed before I pass judgement. Maybe it will look more impressive then. What images and videos they do have are posted on the countdown clock link above.

I saw exactly squat also. Maybe one of the telescope will have a better angle on it.

Pics or it didn't happen. We never crashed on the moon, it's just a big cover up. Look at the shadows on the video feed, clearly shopped.

I watched the live feed.

From what it looked like to me was a pic and they just kept zooming in slowly, because the pic got blurrier as it got closer!
