In less than two weeks, a NASA satellite is scheduled to slam into the moon on purpose.

A 2-ton piece of equipment the size of a school bus, known as the impactor, is expected to bore a 13-foot hole into the lunar surface and kick up a plume of dust 6 miles high. A few minutes later, an unmanned part, about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, is programmed to fly through the debris, recording and transmitting data back to Earth before smashing into the moon as well.

I guess it's cheaper than putting an astronaut up there with a shovel...
