Smart Crash

European moon-shot:

A small army of astronomers will be training their telescopes on the southwestern side of the Moon's face, hoping to get a glimpse of the cloud of dust that will signal SMART-1's impact in a plain called the Lake of Excellence.

"It's possible that much of the probe's structure will be preserved from the impact, accidentally creating a sculpture or a monument for future generations which says 'there you are, that was Europe's first attempt to explore the Moon'."

Which ended in a crash and wreckage. Much like the European Union. At least those future generations can collect the probe and sell it for scrap.
