for the last time, there will be nothing blown up!!!!!
It is a spent satellite that will crashed into a crater along with it's empty rocket. No fuel, no bombs, no explosion. Even if we were to fire a missle at the moon, it would be like shooting the great wall of china with a pistol.
The whole reason for this mission is to prove the existense of water on the moon by studying the make up of the dust that will be kicked up by the collision. This is the very first step in not only future manned missions to the moon, but may also open up the possibilty of a permanent human presence on the moon. - 2 years ago

i understand the mission but I also wonder if we are mature enough to go to space and start blowing things up. These numbnuts scare the crap out of me.
Why not focus our time and energy on better propulsion and spacecraft that dont have a problem entering and leaving an atmosphere cheaply..
Its like we are trying to leap before we can walk.
