I noticed the Kaguya (selene) lunar observation satellite was crashed into the moon last week, the LCROSS spacecraft will attempt that trick later this year.
Crashing into the moon produces a fireball, which allows astronomers to estimate the "luminous efficiency" of objects hitting the Moon. Luminous efficiency is a key parameter required to interpret genuine lunar meteorite impacts. Also, hitting the Moon might uncover something interesting--like evidence of water.
But what if there is actually something unusual living there, and is now well pissed off. And that something has odd powers or is advanced technologicaly?
Is it a good idea to willy nilly crash craft into other planets, moon or asteroids.
heres the probes last approach..

I don't think you understand how different and versatile life could be. There might be something energetic we cannot comprehend and we've just cratered a part of its energy field or something. And now its going yo zap us.
Ok this might seem like sci fi stuff, but we know very little about what could exist out there imo.

I'd try to communicate rather than retaliate suicidally against someone who can randomly cause massive property damage. Eventually I it would probably be established that a mistake had been made.

If they are 'different', maybe they LIKE having bits of metal crashed into them.
If you are going to base your hypothesis on completely random sci-fi style guessing about alien life then that makes just as much sense as your inane fears.
This is total trash.

There's no reason to assume that crashing a probe on the moon would piss those hypothetical beings any more of than say....jacking one out after midnight.

Obviously this is a very specific type of alien that happens to be similar in a way that makes them vulnerable, mentally different in exactly the way that results in them attacking us and invulnerable in a way that makes them impossible to hurt except in the way the we tried before which we won't be able to do again for some reason.
Honestly, don't you think the odds of that happening are pretty high?

Yes, as I wouldn't want to risk having one of our satelites drift deep, deep, deep into space and strike a passing alien space vessel, which in turn could lead them back here wanting to collect on damages.
or see: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (it's a shit film though)

It seems highly unlikely. Besides, we should be more worried about potential bacteria that have been dormant for millions of years under the ice (now melting) then some ''alien'' who is getting pissed for whatever reason.
Although there is a greater possibility that little bacteria and other organisms living underneath layers of ice would die off or get contaminated themselves, as soon as they get in touch with us but you never know....

More likely scenario, however is that it will make us all into flesh eating zombies.
