APOD 1.6

This image of the LCROSS mission was very interesting to me because of how recently this mission took place. Many of the people that I know have been talking about this mission and it was interesting to see some photos of it. The LCROSS mission was a mission to try to uncover whether there was water in the moon and how much of it there was. They ran an old spacecraft into the moon to put debris into the air which a second spacecraft scanned to see what the debris was made of. This may be useful to mankind if they decide to use the moon for natural resources or other things.
