The lunar impactor from the Chandrayaan-1 mission today successfully made it to the surface of the moon, impacting inside the Shackleton crater on the moon's south pole. Above is an image transmitted back by the 34 kg box-shaped MIP (Moon Impact Probe) before it slammed into the moon.

#9 Nair said the landing was perfect. "We have now successfully put our national flag on the lunar surface,"

Trespassers! we claimed in back in 1969. Complete with all the view easements.

actually this is very cool and like an earlier post, maybe it will wake up the zombies at nasa.
