NASA's site says "The main LCROSS mission objective is to confirm the presence or absence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater near a lunar polar region."
Why would the inhabitants of a planet that's surface is covered by 70% water need to search for water on the Moon? Well it must be for future Lunar colonization of course! Why didn't NASA just say so?! That doesn't sound crazy at all! The economy is so fantastic right now, why not use the extra money to drop a bomb on the Moon. In fact (true story) when I was filling out my taxes last spring, I said to myself, "Man I hope they use my money to drop a bomb on the Moon that will find water so I can live there." Unfortunately because the cost of living on the Moon will be so high, I'm going to need to get a sub-prime mortgage on my Moon house. Brother, can you spare a Moonbuck?
But I feel like the only REAL reason they want to find water on the Moon is to have more challenging hazards when they're golfing. If you remember, they stopped going to the Moon in the 70's because they were sick of having only sand traps on their golf courses. To this day, the Apollo program remains the most exclusive country club in the Universe.
