NASA to bomb the Moon

Scooby_Brew · 10-08-2009, 06:33 PM

Since I am a huge science geek I am literally thrilled about this NASA project. They are about to send a missile aimed at one of the craters on the dark side of the Moon. Another spacecraft will collect dust raised from the explosion and look for signs of water on the Moon. Cool stuff.

Great idea! Bomb those lunar bastards before they do it to us!!

Watch out Mars, we know what you are thinking.

Did not read the link.

I had heard tho' that no explosion is supposed to take place. That the mere impact of the projectile is intended to cause enough disturbance.

The other side is complaining tho'. And not taking into consideration the number of natural impacts the moon endures on a "regular" basis.

Its really to wage war on the moon people who have been hiding on the dark side for centuries. Dont believe the exploration crap! We invaded Mars with the Mars landing years ago, then the moon people allied with them. This is gonna be WWIII or as the Moon People call it ....... Moon War I.

I thought that India already confirmed that there was water on the moon? Are we bombing the moon cause we don't trust them???

Probably... we'll also take credit for this one...

Moon people? WTF?

There is no water on the moon until America declares it to be true. All those space programs that other countries have are just smoke and mirrors.

Would Lunatics be better? I’m telling you they are crazy! Tell me another Moon people who waited so long in hiding to retake the Earth from us. In truth we invaded this planet and took it from the civilized & peaceful Dinosaurs who were at war against each other after they drove off what we call the Moon People today.

LOL ... I should write for one of those grocery line magazines!
