(Dateline Oct.09,2009 Ames, Iowa) LCROSS Impact drives Moon into new North-South Orbit. Scientists say,"Whoops, my bad". Tidal changes, stress fractures on Earth surface proected to wipe out life on planet from tectonic activity, mega-storms, mega-floods, mega-famines, mega-insects, and mega-chickens.
