On water quest, Nasa to smash craft into Moon
Alunar event sceduled for 5pm (IST) on Friday could be straight out a sc-fi thriller. Zooming at a velocity of nearly 8,000 kmph, a 2,305kg Nasa spacecraft known as Centaur will slam onto the south pole of the Moon with such force that it will throw up 350 tonnes of lunar soil and debris and create a 13-feet-deep crate.
