Today's the day the LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite) mission will send a missile traveling at twice the speed of a bullet to blast a hole in the lunar surface near the moon's South pole.This isn't a declaration of intergalactic war: The missile will hit the lunar surface at the moon's South pole, an area scientists estimate may have billions of tons of trapped ice.
