This post of his from Empty Minds would seem to intimate it:
JOHN LEAR SAYS ON A THREAD ABOUT LCROSS MISSION:
I think you are asking quite a bit for the first time around. I mean its not like we've ever gone back to the moon for years now. Now we finally get going and you guys want a dog an pony show with flashing lights and plumes of smoke and rockets crashing all over the place. Let me remind you that this is scientific work and not a PR program with the Green Hulk doing the narration.
Give us a chance to get some data to work with, numbers to crunch. Maybe you thought there was going to be something you could actually see on the moon. Actually you have been given all the pictures you are ever going to get of the moon; you've got Luna, Zond, Surveyor, Lunar Orbiter, Apollo, Space Lab, Clementine and a whole bunch bunch of others. Lunar explorer too.
I know what you're thinking. You think someone lives up there and we are trying to hide something. Nothing could be further than the truth. It s a rocky, barren, chalky, wasteland.
Knock, Knock? Whose there? Nobody. Nobody is home! So quit knocking. Nobody is home; anyplace else either. Nobody lives in the 4 gas bags, Jupiter, Neptune, Neptune and Uranus that God put up there to light up the sky for Christmas.
Now give us a break and we will give you some pictures of water exploding at the south pole. Cause other wise you are not going to get anything. Capice?
