Cool! My friend has a crater on the Moon named after him. He discovered it with just a basic telescope in his back yard about 20 years ago. :)

Just our luck, the probe hits an unknown super fault and the moon splits in half giving us the famous “two moons over Miami!”(attempted humor on)

I hope it doesn’t knock over the flag Armstrong and his pals planted there.

This event will be large enough that the flash from the impact will be visible with the naked eye. The plume it puts up may be visible with a good telescope, but the best bet is to Tivo NASA TV...
Impact is supposed to be around 0430 Pacific time so early risers on the Left Coast might be in for a show if the weather stays clear....

I am waiting for the announcement from White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs:
“We have always been at war with the Moon.”

“a thoroughly scrutinized crater called Cabeus that lies near the moon's south pole and is enveloped in perpetual darkness. “
That doesn't make sense to me.
Given that one surface of the moon constantly faces Earth,” that the Earth rotates on an axis that “wobbles” (is not in sync with the sun), and that the combined Earth-moon mass cycles around the sun in an elliptic orbit; there's no way that any part of the moon is in perpetual darkness.
We shall see

I can’t get excited about a probe landing on the moon when we landed men on the moon forty years ago. We’ve taken a huge step back since then.
