The scientists over at NASA are really into smashing stuff. First it was the Deep Impact probe, which crashed into a comet to see what it was made of. Now, in 2009, the space agency plans to blast a probe into the surface of the moon in a collision so big people will be able to see it from Earth through telescopes, AP reports.

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
