NASA mission to explore the Moon to look for water ice at the poles! And I found it! My mission (and my tweets) ended Oct 9, 2009. But, I'm forever on the moon!

RT @worden Successful end of mission. Now we have to see what the data shows

The LCROSS Post Impact News Conference from NASA Ames begins at 7:00 a.m. on NASA TV.

Hi! This LCROSS Science Team at Ames here. The LCROSS mission has ended. But the scientific discovery continues.

“That's it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me?”

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'!”

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

“And what's this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round,

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

Wow, 150km from the moon! #lcross

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

I'm 300km from the moon! #lcross

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

Centaur Impact into Cabeus! #lcross Now it's my turn!

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

Where am I now? Travelin' 2.49km/s (5577mph). 1,737km from the Moon. T-2min #lcross

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

Wow! We're T - 10 minutes to Centaur impact! #lcross

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

Looking at the lunar surface, closing in at ~4000mph, as my team evalautes the health of my science instruments.

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

My science payload is being turned on! Live streaming data to NASATV #LCROSS

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

Where am I now? Travelin' 1.51km/s(3370mph). 7,784km from the Moon. T-1hr

Live coverage of LCROSS Impact Event has started on NASA TV at http://www.nasa.gov/ntv #lcross

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

Another 8600km to go, just like a trip from San Francisco to London #lcross

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

RT @ThisIsTheMoon I can see those two orbiting things getting closer to me and I'm cool with it. #NASA #LCROSS #MOON

[LCROSS_NASA @lcross_nasa]

NASA TV will begin broadcasting soon. Watch the action at: http://www.nasa.gov/ntv

RT @worden With less than two hours to go for LCROSS! Incredible precision. Will impact target point within 70 meters! Go NASA, Go moon!
