From New Scientist’s Latest Headlines site:
The silence of a frigid, perpetually dark crater at the Moon’s South Pole will soon be shattered. A new mission, announced by NASA on Monday, aims to smash an SUV-sized impactor straight into the crater in late 2008.
No, no it won’t. No matter how big the impactor or how hard it hits, that “frigid, perpetually dark crater” will remain just as silent during and after the impact as it is now and presumably has always been.
No air, no sound, guys. Remember? Good grief!

(Well, I must say, that felt good. It’s not very often I get to correct New Scientist!)
