So we're going to blow up the moon. OK maybe not the whole moon but we are really going to do some moon explosions. What are we declaring war on the aliens? Yeah lets piss off the little green people. What did they do to us?
Ok now to get serious, yes we are going to set off some blasts in the moon. Mainly in the South Pole of the moon to see how deep the ice is there. Here is NASA's press release on it:

I found this cool video that kinda explains what we are doing on the moon and what they are doing when they blow up the moon (fast forward it to 2:40 to get to the blow up part) - you can see that here: clicky

I'm reminded of an episode of The Tick where the villian Chairface Chippendale wants to carve his name on the moon. He gets as far as "C H A" before they stop him. Later on, I think somehow they manage to blow up a chunk of the moon... funny stuff.
I see the headlines for tomorrow
Lunar attack by Luny people. 
Yeah we bomb the little green ppl in less then a hour - at 7:31am EST
at lunar attack by luny people 
OK PL since your across the pond and I'm sure you can't see the moon at this time - I'll share my moon with you. let me moon you 
Yep disappointing - I saw nothing. I wanted to see a boom (like you would see on a cartoon )
Thanks for sharing SM 
They crached the sat into the dark side of the moon.
Probaly so that we don't see the Lunaratians shooting it to pieces before it can crash.
