2. Why would we want to stop this? It's fine. Geesh. n/t

3. What a complete waste of time and money.

NASA's day has come and gone. They serve no practicle purpose in today's world.

4. Misleading headline

"Scientists expect the blast to be so powerful that a huge plume of debris will be ejected. The attack on the Moon is not a declaration of war or act of wanton vandalism. Space scientists want to see if any water ice or vapour is revealed in the cloud of debris. Though the Moon mostly a dry airless desert, they believe ice could be trapped in crater shadows near the south pole which never receive any sunlight. If so it could provide vital supplies for a manned moonbase."

Besides if they really were going to blow it up, they'd use the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.

5. And this is in Environment/Energy why?

6. don't you think this will impact on the environment?

7. Absolutely fuck-all effect on this planet's environment.

If you were genuinely interested, this subject was discussed a short while
ago on the Science forum.

If you are just trolling some flame-bait in E/E then you know what to do.

8. sorry I didn't know it was discussed in the Science Forum.

thanks I will check out that forum that's what I get for only checking out the GD forum.

9. The moon gets hit anually by impacts magnitudes larger than this one.

We discussed it do death in the Science forum, and it will do shit all to the environment. The solar system has been dealing with these things for eons with no negative impact (except for the time a much larger impact took out the dinos, but then, we can say that had positive results seeing as how we are here!). :)
