NASA's mission to bomb the Moon

[Anonymous No.]

NASA will tomorrow launch a spectacular mission to bomb the Moon. Their LCROSS mission will blast off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying a missile that will blast a hole in the lunar surface at twice the speed of a bullet. The missile, a Centaur rocket, will be steered by a shepherding spacecraft that will guide it towards its target - a crater close to the Moon's south pole. Scientists expect the blast to be so powerful that a huge plume of debris will be ejected.

Astronomers using one of the world's largest telescopes captured the brilliant explosion as the Kaguya spacecraft slammed into the Moon.

Doesn't the timing on this completely coordinate with that time machine movie, where tom cruise went into the future and everyone was in a panic cause america blew up the moon

First of all, the movie was The Time Machine. Second of all, it was Guy Pierce, not Tom Cruise. Lastly, no, it doesn't coincide, the moon blowing up in the movie was in 2037.
