Kurt, Absolutely not. I want to thank you for the tremendous job you did. No one did a better job in trying to estimate what might have happened. This doesn't in the slightest mean you calculations were wrong. To me it means the conditions that were assumed on the Moon were likely different than predicted. Thank you again.

But on a serious note, I'd like to thank everyone who supported this morning's event and a very special thanks to Kurt Fisher for all of the work he put into the project.

Thanks for your kind words, Patrick. It is some source of personal embrassment that I rallied the club on this and it flopped. But this kind of minor amateur stuff aside, hopefully the LCROSS team will be able to pull a useable science result out of what imaging that they did get.  I hope that those who did show up had a good time. - Kurt
