Is NASA really going to shoot a bomb into the moon
If so, what do you all think about it and where is some good information on it? Thank you

The short answer: NO. Info: Mythical. It's nonsense filtering down through the Internet as it usually does or someone's idea of a joke or prank as the case may be. Absolutely, nothing to do with reality. If anything NASA's eyeing a return to the moon. They're always studying it and have found traces of water recently.

oh for fuck's sakes its not a goddamn bomb. they're taking a probe and smashing it at high velocity (by that I mean speeds measured in kilometers per second) into the moon to see if they can kick up any sign of water, whether it be vapor, ice, whatever they can get. the probe is likely to be no larger than a baseball, but at those speeds its kinetic energy will be on par with an anti-tank sabot round. check out nasa.gov for the full scoop. its not like NASA would waste precious weight margins to bring a few blocks of C4 on the mission for kicks.
