10/8/09 MOON CRASH!  The LCROSS spacecraft will hit the moon tomorrow morning. The EAST coast will be in daylight when it hits, so we won’t be able to view it live. The WEST coast will have a great view.   I’m sure the link in the email will have some dramatic footage on the web site by early tomorrow.
