Dr. Robotnik. . . err, I mean NASA, to blow up moon

[Jrecee]

We're crashing a shuttle into the moon? Really? Wouldn't it make more sense to send some sort of drill up there and just drill a big hole?

Should we expect moon rocks crashing into earth?

[crux]

'"The impact has about a million times less impact on the moon than a passenger's eyelash falling to the floor of a 747 during flight," said Daniel Andrews, LCROSS project manager.'

That about says it, I think.

When it comes to drills and space you haven't seen Gurren Lagann, have you?

EDIT!: By the way, awesome thread title.

The time/money it would take to set up an actual drilling oprtation on the moon, and then do so much excavation would be enormous. Firing a rocket at it is much easier, and damn cool. I really hope I'll be able to watch the live feed from Nasa when it happens.

Honestly, I think the moon was asking for it.

Obviously this is a preemptive measure against the Anti-Spirals under the guise of science.

I heard it's all a vampire conspiracy to take down werewolves.

I can only think of the moon in Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z. It got blown up at least twice...

[Ack]

We're trying to stick it in the moon's eye.

We're trying to stick it in the moon's eye.

Oh yea, that was in the Smashing Pumpkins "Tonight Tonight" video, its pretty good.

This reminds me of a song i know, from the brak show



There's an asteroid coming in the dead of the night.
It's gonna smash us into bits.
We need our trusted Thundercleese
Before that mother hits.
Oh, we both know what must be done
Do it, Slappy, while we're young.
Turn...on...Thun...der..cleese!
Cleese!

...thats all i know...
