At the Space Foundation’s 25th National Space Symposium Hyperbola spoke to Northrop Grumman’s vice president for advanced systems Stephen Hixson (hear me get that wrong at the end of the video) and NASA Ames Research Center Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) principal investigator Anthony Colaprete. In this unedited video they talk about the schedule and financial challenges, how it might not have happened, what could yet go wrong and what science will be achieved by ramming the Moon with a Centaur upper stage producing a 1,000,000kg (2,200,000lb) plume of lunar regolith
