watch-nasa-moon-bombing-live Hell yeah! If you are still not aware of this, NASA will be bombing the moon in order to to eject debris from the surface of one of moon’s craters and discovering whether there’s frozen water there. It will impact against the Cabeus crater at 5,600mph, causing another crater about one third the size of a football field. The Cabeus crater was selected because it's likely to show definitive proof of water in the moon, based on the information from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, Lunar Prospector, Chandrayaan-1, and JAXA's Kaguya spacecraft. So, its time to grab some popcorn and a can of coke, sit back and watch the events unfold live online on your computers! Later today, October 9, 6:15 a.m. EDT/3:15 a.m. PDT, NASA will start a live TV broadcast that will include live footage from the spacecraft camera, real-time telemetry based animation, expert commentary, and possibly some live footage from the 88-inch telescope located on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

You might be knowing that TechPP completed an year of successful blogging last month and so far it has been a one man show (majorly). There is surely a lot of scope to grow and improve. I have always believed in making TechPP - a place to share the knowledge on anything related to Technology and Internet - be it Web 2.0, Social media, Computers or Wordpress in a simple, easy to understand way. But I do feel that there are certain areas and topics which still need to be explored and covered and though I think I can contribute in those areas, I don’t really think that I can find time to do it. So am looking for few writers who can fill up that void. If you have the skills and expertise to do that, you are more than welcome to join us on the TechPP team, and this will be a paid endeavor, so you get a chance to showcase your skills and get paid for it too! Below are the areas that I am looking to expand in:
  • Apple/Mac/iPhone related articles and tips n tricks
  • Mobile related articles
  • Gadgets and Hardware related articles
  • Detailed How-to...
