I'd have to disagree, if they were trying to show aerospace dominance they would have gone with the plan they had 5 years ago where they wanted to send a bunker buster into the crater. Sadly that would have cost a good 500 million dollars.
This project only even came to be because nasa didnt have any delta 2 rockets and the delta 4 rockets they did have had a lot of extra power that could be used.
