Yeah, I was one of the 390,000+ internet users staring at the video of the moon "crash".
I'm going to start giving those "moon landing" conspiracy theorists more credit. *I* could of done this video with a black and white moon picture printed out on an injet printer, then moving my camera closer to it to emulate movement.
Best thing? The video of the people at the NASA control center,
xyloart noticed how one operator tried to highfive his workmate after their "success" and was left hanging... in front of 100s of thousands of viewers. That smarts!
All kidding aside, though, this is exciting to the scientific community and I hope they get interesting results from this!
