Bombing the Moon

I'm not sure if this was posted yet. Anyway, humanity just seems determined to kill itself.

To sum it up, Nasa is going to hit the moon with a big enough missile that it ejects a "huge plume of debris," so they can see if frozen water(sometimes known as ice) is under the surface.

Why?

Because if there is, we can make bases on the moon and not have to worry about water. . . Because we'll melt the ice under the surface. .

smh.

The shepherding spacecraft will follow close behind, taking pictures and analysing the ejected debris as it looks for evidence of water. It has just four minutes to do this before it crashes into the Moon itself, producing a spectacular explosion that should be visible in amateur astronomers' telescopes.

*blink*

*blink*

People are retarded.

isn't that a good thing? I mean I'm sure Nasa has researched this thoroughly enough to realize that it won't pose any real danger to Earth.

I doubt some guy named Fred who works there just woke up last Tuesday and was like "HEY! LET'S BOMB THE FUCKIN' MOON GUYZ!"

And a small unmanned picture taking space craft crashing into the moon is really no issue whatsoever.

dude, space is not earth, I don't give a fuck how faithful you are with scientists, they do not understand space enough to do shit like this. WE CAN'T EVEN PREDICT THE WEATHER FOR SURE.

I really don't like the idea of them trying to break the moon

[RXL]

missles + anything = always a bad idea

[Chris Black]

Obviously, I don't think earth will explode when this happens, but it seems completely ridiculous to me.

Melt ice on the moon?

Manned bases on the moon?

Maybe I'm trippin' but what the fuck?

Why?

I don't get the damn point, and if I can just buy a telescope and see the explosion we make on the moon, out my bedroom window, I can't call that small. . And that's not even the missile. Lol.

They don't even know what's there. They're sending a missile to find out what's there? Are you joking?

"Hey, I wonder what's at the south pole. . I have an idea! Shoot a missile that causes a big enough explosion to send a huge plum of debris into space and analyze the debris!!!

Maybe I'm just spazzing, but this sounds like an episode of Dexter's Laboratory or some shit.

how would they know the frozen water on the moon is even edible?....toxins/chemicals/dust/shit like that has to be laced throughout all that shit...

[Masahiko.]

lmao @ "twice as fast as a bullet" WTF we are fucking stupid, curious animals.

I'm sure they'll run it through a strainer and put some chemical in it.

But, why do we need permanent bases on the moon at all? What's the use?

[Masahiko.]

because we are killing the earth lol. plus, mankind has a destructive nature, its basically plan b to anything going wrong with our planet.

also, it would be one step closer to further exploring other planets, etc.

Because we can. Do we really need another reason to blow things up and then take them over?

[Chris Black]

because we are killing the earth lol.

True. Lol.

[Chris Black]

Sad but true. I wonder how much money will end up being spent on all this.

[Raptor Jesus]

Never doubt our ability to wield weapons to do what we want. If we can shoot missiles into a room that kills one person and leaves everyone else alone then I think there's a chance we can fuck the moon up without having any repercussions.

Besides we need to do SOMETHING. Because we're obviously fucking this planet up beyond repair. At the rate we're going one day this planet will be unhospitable for Human life.
