NASA iS GOING TO BOMB THE MOON THIS FRIDAY

[svchop889]

does anyone think this is a good idea id ont the moon controls tides and has a gravitational pull on the earth as well what the hell are they thinking? there supposedly looking for water but we already know there is water and ice on the moon This could really fuck us all

 

[cali-high]

we dont know if their is water because we never been to the moon!

 

[svchop889]

yeah well even if that true its still a horrible idea

 

[That 5hit]

why not bomb the moon
we been at war with them for over 2 hunderd years

 

[svchop889]

um i dunno do you want a tsunami coming at your house? or to get pulled off orbit and have everything get fucked up?

 

[svchop889]

shit we've never detonated bombs in space how do we know there wont be some crazy shockwave effect that effects the universe adversely with severe consequence?

 

[Edawg420]

and this will all come into effect in 2012

 

[svchop889]

or friday man or is this what the myans actually predicted?

 

[jsteezy1290]

well if we all die i will make sure im high as fuck so i have a smile on my face

 

[svchop889]

right thats what im saying smoke a 12gram blunt

 

[svchop889]

SHIt cant we stop this?

They are not BOMBING the moon.
The LCROSS orbiter is being crashed into the moon. This would be similar to crashing a semi-trailer into the earth.
It will not destroy the moon. It will not perturb it's orbit.
It will kick up debris that can be monitored with a spectroscope to see what molecules are present.

There is NO explosive payload. No bomb.

 

[svchop889]

then why are they saying bomb laden missile?

 

[morgentaler]

then why are they saying bomb laden missile?

Because it's completely wrong.

Here's some info from a NASA scientist on what they're doing:

Note that if they actually had a bomb on board LCROSS, some foreign powers with very big nuclear bombs would be raising holy hell, as weaponization of space is an ugly topic at the moment.

edit: by the way, who is "they"?

 

[The Warlord]

We should absolutely bomb the moon. i mean how else are we supposed to practise for the inevitable interstellar war?

 

[morgentaler]

Oh for fuck's sake. You've been reading the Huffington Post.
Did they mention that Bigfoot was piloting it too?

 

[cali-high]

Well i still hope no one believes we landed on the moon...i mean how could we have enough gas to come back...

i just had to throw that out their

cuz i know their are lots of ppl believe we landed on the moon...its fucking stupid to think so..

 

[svchop889]

It is still dangerous as fuck how do we really know what effect it will have, it shouldnt happen either way Has anyone heard of the billiards team 'english'? the moon has a great effect on the weather as well,

 

[svchop889]

dude i really really dont even care if we did i do care that shits going to get fucked up what if it throws us out of orbit over time we just drift farthr and farther away from the sun? or into it?

Because we have these people called scientists. And they understand some basic physics. And some advanced ones as well.

The moon has been hit by hundreds of thousands of objects larger than LCROSS.

Have you ever been hit by a grain of sand?
LCROSS would be smaller than that on this scale.
