Tomorrow we will bomb the terrorists on the moon to find water.
I think we should also send more probes to venus and mars. What do you guys think of our SPACE PROGRAM
I wonder how the rest of the world feels about this... n_u
I believe we should really try to get to Mars sometime in our lifetime. Let us reform the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics so we have somebody to compete against.

NASA’s lunar bombing violates intergalactic space law and must be stopped!

Pft, I shall do one better. I shall pray my way to
Zeus Jupiter. baddood;
I can't wait to bomb some Moons!!!!!!!!
I blame Bush.
I've got a ten inch mirror on my scope so I'm going to see if I can watch it happen.
I dont know if the sun's going to be too high when it happens though.
Too much light is going to kill any chances.
The central time zones are probably not the best places to view.
That means getting up early though.
I think it's a really bad idea to mess around with environments you don't understand

Yeah, but just imagine. We could actually put global warming to a good use on Mars. n_u
We're getting rid of evidence akudood;
We think that one of the moons of Jupiter is filled with organisms, and what's more they're developing biological weapons , so we're going to impose sanctions on it and insult its culture until it's class of lower organisms creates an uprising against the elite.

Yeah, maybe that will get it a magnetic field.
Bombing the moon? baddood; that sounds like a good way to send chunks of space rock hurdling into the earth causing the next mass extinction

Um.
So let's assume the rocket hits the moon with force F
rocket, where F
rocket=a fuckton = 26.54 shitloads. the force will be directed at one point in the nearly spherical moon, with enough energy to vaporize a good deal of shit near the moon, turning it into dust. The dust poses no threat to us.
Any fragments of which you speak would be propelled away from the the explosion, i.e. away from earth, increasing their radius in the universal gravitation equation. And...that shit'll orbit. Anything massive enough to harm us will stay in orbit, anything smaller will be attracted, and do little more damage than a satellite falling. There really isn't much chance of a mass extinction from the moon, even if the moon is mostly broken and not mostly incinterated; universal gravitation is our fried.
Much worse would be the effect on the tides, which would destroy ecosystems and homes, and generally cause shit to hit the proverbial fan.
I eagerly await this baddood;

But we'd get a ring, Pqqu. I think all of that would be worth it for an awesome planetary ring.

well the idea there is that we drill a hole in the surface, which is solid ice, and send shit down to search for extraterrestrial sea life
this is sending a fucking bomb into the moon
Has anyone else realized that JMV was making an interstellar analogy to the US involvement in the middle east
Wait, are you fucking serious?
Why wasn't I informed?

isn't there a way to do this without bombing the moon
edit: after reading an article about it, this is pretty much what happens with space rocks a few times a month anyway
Great, we're now destroying a landmass we don't even live on yet.

welcome to 3 days ago
and it's not "destroying"
why not just blow the whole thing up, it's not like it's ever done anything for us
Is this really any significant damage to the moon? doodthing;
From what I've heard, it's just a little impact of a high-speed probe crashing into the pole to scatter some dust to examine for water particles. An impact which will only make yet another smallish (~60ft?) crater on the mass of hundreds of thousands of craters. But what I don't get from that is why something like drilling isn't better.

Because bombing the moon sounds much cooler. akudood;
I bought two acres of the moon of Lunarembassy.com They better not bomb my part of the moon Q('_' Q)
And apparently there was indeed a bunch of water they found with this.
One of the first articles I found after googling: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-sci-moon14-2009nov14,0,2036369.story
yeah
saw that the other day
guys if we blow up the moon all the water will become water vapor and drift in space until the gravitational force of the earth sucks it in at which point it'll rain on us and our children will drown under 11 feet of water omg
Yes we did it! The next step is to colonize the moon, thus extending our sphere of influence. We have eliminated all opposition, nothing is stopping us. WE WILL DO IT FOR AMERICA! WE WILL DO IT IN HONOR OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS. WE WILL CREATE A NATION ACROSS THE MILKY WAY! THIS IS OUR CALLING! IT IS TIME FOR US TO PICK UP THE BURDEN ONCE AGAIN, AND MODERNIZE THESE PLANETS!
