NASA's bombing of the moon was set to take place at 4:31 AM.  For our membership drive special, we'll covered the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite or LCROSS mission.

In this audio, we hear from the crowd gathered outside OMSI, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.  OMSI had announced that they would be providing a video simulcast of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite impact on to the Moon.  However, many who showed up to watch were locked out and stuck in the cold to try and look up and view with the naked eye.  As the crowd grew restless, a group of protesters and mock counter-protesters arrived to debate the moon's plight.
