CrimsonKing, think very carefully about what your implying here.
I brought SMART-1 to the forum's attention about 12 hours before it crashed. I think I'm right in saying that no one here would have known about this otherwise.
If NASA/ESA had planned SMART-1 just to discredit this forum, they would have had to of known that I would post it here. You are indirectly accusing me of being part of the conspiracy.
Not only that, but I didn't learn about SMART-1 from a NASA source, rather I learned about it from an independant science blog. That means they would of had to manuver a non NASA writer to post about it on his blog which I don't cite all that often. Something tells me they wouldn't have spent so much money perpetrating the hoax on the incrediblly small chance that it actually made it to this forum.
