People watch a live video feed of engineers in the Mission Operations Control Room during the twin impacts of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) and its rocket's upper stage as they impact the moon at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California October 9, 2009. Searching for stocks of water on the moon, NASA crashed two spacecraft into an eternally dark lunar crater, hoping to splash ice into the light where instruments could assess it.
