The article talks about the instruments and how they captured images and other data right up until the last second of impact. They also talk a bit about their predictions about impact and data collection.

The LCROSS and LRO spacecrafts were sent out into space in which they did a series of orbits around the moon to map out safe landing areas to crash. After deciding to land near the south pole of the moon it then completed its last orbit and proceeded to 'bomb' the moon. The entire purpose for crashing on the moon is to create a huge debris cloud. The debris cloud will then be analyzed to see if there is frozen water on the moon. The existence of water on the moon is crucial because it will further advance the project of living on the moon.

The fact that we've crashed the moon seems totally insane however once the entire process is broken down it doesn't seem so unethical. Its actually a bright idea to start moon colonies for the simple fact that the entire world population is sky rocketing. Less people on earth means less pollution, less supply and demand issues, and even less sickness because things won't be so crowded for disease and infections to occur. This moon crashing stuff is definitely alright with me.
