Did my title get your attention? What if I said "The United States Declares War on the Moon" or "All your Horoscopes to be Destroyed by NASA?" In the news industry an exciting pitch in your title can mean the difference in readership in the thousands or even hundreds of thousands, so there is big business in coaxing you to read with an exciting, but not quite true title.
Everywhere you look today in the mainstream media you see "NASA to Bomb the Moon." For months now I have seen the media and anti-science bloggers putting an edgy spin on the NASA LCROSS mission to bring out people's most negative views of a vital and exciting Space Science experiment. There are a lot of people with very self-interested motives creating a nasty spin of mis-information about this event. I'm happy to say today there are some terrific space journalists and educators doing their best to help get the truth out.
