The space agency said it will slam two spacecraft into the moon at 7:30 a.m. EDT Friday in an effort to find water on the moon. NASA is planning a live broadcast of the LCROSS impacts starting at 6:15 a.m. EDT on Oct. 9 on NASA TV. It will stream the event live at www.nasa.gov/ntv . Read the full story
