EU Craft Successfully Hits The Moon

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-you-said-to-turn-left! dept.

An anonymous reader writes "SMART-1 has hit the Moon , just as planned and — even better — the impact threw out a bright infrared that was seen by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii. There's an animation of the images grabbed by the telescope. Scientists now hope to analyse the chemistry of the rock ejected by the crash. If only you could dump old cars in such a useful way."

    You notice it's always "WE landed on the moon", but "the government" is fucking up things? "OUR team scored! Hooray!" at the start of the match, but "I can't believe THEY lost" at the end...?

    Just an interesting observation. I call it "inclusive gain" and "exclusive loss".
