...uncovered by the bucketful - about 24 gallons' worth. It was the intentional crash of the mission - in two separate stages - on Oct. 9 that made the discovery possible. The first piece of LCROSS slammed into the floor of a crater called Cabeus, some 60 miles from the moon's south pole, excavating a hole more than 60 ft. across and sending up a plume of pulverized material about 6 miles wide.

On the outside, Enke was the rising star of German soccer, in line to be the national team's starting goalkeeper at next year's World Cup in South Africa. He had played eight games for Germany since taking over for Jens Lehmann in goal after the European Championships last year.
