Bombing the moon!

I personally think this is a horrible idea. I hope NASA knows what they are doing. Won’t this have a chance of affecting tides, weather, and climate change?
Read both of these to get the full gist of what is going on.

Also, this may sound a bit silly, but there is this supposed theory that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin reported back to Houston saying they sighted UFOs:

This sounds like a terrible idea, and I feel we should have a say in what they do.

If its happening, its happening at 7:30 EDT today. Oh jeeze.

Am I the only one concerned about this?

2

yes.

The moon has withstood massive impacts from meteors and other space debris for billions of years, and is still intact and doing fine. I don’t think a single bomb-even a nuclear explosion-would be much more than a “pin prick”, compared to what the moon has endured over its lifetime. :slight_smile:

I think it’s a great idea.

Water is pretty much everywhere in the solar system. Why not the moon?

:slight_smile:

5

Think of all the meteors that have hit the moons surface before now. Do you really think a small bomb will throw the moon out of orbit?

6

Haha, Someone already made that point in the 3rd post. :slight_smile:

If you believe any of this, I’ll slap you.

Come now, no one’s actually witnessed a large meteor hit the moon. Naturally, that means that it didn’t happen.

Oh, and I saw in a movie once that you could electromagnetically charge the moon and the earth’s magnetic field would draw it in.

Don’t forget antigravity and time travel.

Jeez. We’re so vulnerable to the moon’s destruction right now.

…But what about our destruction?

If all the nuclear bombs in the world blew up, that would boil all the oceans and heat the earth’s surface up to hotter than the sun :astonished:

Also, the War of the Worlds radio scare WASN’T a scare. The book, supposedly written by H.G. Wells, was just part of the cover-up.

The ruling families are obviously lizard people. George Bush, Kevin Michael Rudd, Barack Obama, Che Guevarez, Queen Elizabeth, Tony Blaire, and Sanjaya are all related. However, they’re just puppets of the Illuminati, who’s ultimate goal of a New World Order involves mass genocide.

Don’t forget the rapture. That’s coming, too.

At the end of the Mayan calendar, the Pledians are going to make their move.

…And when was the last time you did a self-censor and cleansed yourself of Thetans?

You’re probably going to die soon, so don’t worry about it.

When I was maybe 5 or 7 years old, I used to go out into my back yard, put baking soda and vinegar into a small capsule with a lid, then run away and watch the lid fly off. Despite these numerous explosions, my back yard is still intact.

They could get Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck to head up a team to drill a hole in the moon for the bomb.

Big bangs on the moon are a bad thing.

But at least we’ll still have funky guitar music.

It just goes to show:

Even the most idiotic premise can get somewhere in the entertainment industry if it has money backing it.

12

Yeah, craters on the moon were dug out by monkeys we sent there years back. Not from meteors, not at all. =p

13

I think they were looking for the monolith.

14

“Cop Rock” comes to mind! :astonished:

15

Its not even gonna be bomb. They are dropping the spent rocket stage onto the moons surface which will hit with the same type of force as a meteorite. You cant even see the crater that it would create.

BUT,

If you have at least a 10 inch telescope sitting around the house you can hopefully observe the plume of debris that will be kicked up. Thats what my plan is going to be for tonight.

16

I have this one. Auto seek and track is pretty cool. Works best in the desert, away from city lights under clear skies.

Well, at least one of you got it right.

The monkeys were waging war against the subcutaneous parasitic rocks that were eating the moon. Had they not been stopped, it would have been much worse than just a few craters.

By the way, if you haven’t looked at this article yet, I highly recommend that you do so.

I get all of my news from the Examiner and the Onion these days.

How will frozen water particles on the moon benefit us other than a bit of knowledge?

19

In future manned flights to the moon, the trip may be cheapened somewhat by extracting water from the moon rather than wasting fuel getting it up there.
It will be even more handy if we ever start colonizing.
We’ll get more information from this than just the binary water/no water, too.

What I want to know is why the monkeys didn’t tell us whether the moon was frozen or dry.

All of them knew sign language. That’s how we gave them such detailed instructions.

I still dont think its a good idea
but the thing is its going in a crater already there witch will deepen it more.

Shouldnt we get to vote on this stuff?
