I've always wished that someone had named one of the lunar landers "Alice."

Damn, I thought that Russian spacecraft had made it to the moon. Must have been faked.

If they were going to crash it, they could have saved a lot of money by dropping it from the nearest tall building.

Europe's 1st lunar mission reaches moon where they immediately deployed their white flag and surrendered to the moonbats.

SMART-1 — Small Mission for Advanced Research and Technology — was launched into Earth orbit by an Ariane-5 booster rocket from Kourou, French Guiana, in September 2003. The ion engine slowly raised the orbit over 14 months until the moon's gravity grabbed the probe. Because of that, the spacecraft took the long way — traveling more than 62 million miles instead of the direct route of 217,000 to 250,000 miles flown by U.S. astronauts on Apollo missions to reach the moon in three days. But ESA did it for a relatively cheap $140 million.
So nearly 40 years after we landed men on the moon, they took 14 months to crash an unmanned "probe" onto the lunar surface. And this proves what?

And I bet the little robots will br called "Luna-Tics"

And only 35 years after we landed men there and brough them home.

Hey, Euro-weenies, you're about 37 years too late and an unmanned mission to such a nearby target simply doesn't impress..... Yawn..... let us know when you're ready to colonize Mars with some socialist weenies......

This view of SMART-1 impacting the lunar surface was captured by the 3.6-meter optical/infrared Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The impact flash lasted only about 1 millisecond. It may have been caused by the thermal emission from the impact itself or by the release of spacecraft volatiles, such as the small amount of hydrazine fuel remaining on board.
