I don't know which research institute came up with this idea...which scientist...which knucklehead...but, ideas on how to dispose of China's circumlunar exploration satellite, Chang'e I, named after the Chinese goddess are being tossed about.
The three options thusfar:
1. land it on the moon
2. bring it back to earth
3. crash it into the moon
The current thought is to have it purposely bump into the
moon....official speak for crash it and see what happens.China would like to put an unmanned vehicle on the moon within the next few years. Chang'e I will take 3D pix of the moon's surface.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy them from the Russians or US?
The scientists will track the satellite in its work orbit by playing some thirty Chinese songs over and over.

"When I see the shadow cast from the ...uh, honey...honey, where'd you go? Hey, who turned out the light!?"
