This is so obvious!

They need to stabilize the moon-station with som thrust, but the problem is its on the side where maybe some people can see it. So instead of taking the risk of this being spotted, they say - we are going to nuke the moon to see if we can find some water! Come and watch!

What I wonder is why is the money spent on this when people in the world are starving or dying of cancer??? When earthquakes and tsunamis and typhoons are killing people and making people homeless?? So many people on EARTH are sick or injured and uneducated, and yet we have to look for a little water on the freaking MOON? When India already confirmed there is water. How arrogant and greedy!

Don't worry, seriously no alarms. The projectile will cause at most a 6km dust plume. Unlike meteors that travel in excess of 100,000 mph and weigh up to millions of pounds, this projectile is 4000 pounds and will be traveling at 5450 mph.

Hardly something to fret about.

As for blowing up bases, also not likely. This entire operation, including the aesthetics of the missile, are geared towards precision. This mission is evidently created to test for water in permanently shadowed craters which may yield reason to BUILD future bases in craters, yes.

Besides, there are plenty of "bases" to blow up on the moon. I doubt they'd just focus on one.

If you want to worry about a coastal event, take a look at earthquake activity in California's San Andreas. 100's of tiny shakes in the last week and half. The pacific plate is screaming.

Or a combination of that and the fact that the L.H.C. IS READY IN LESS THEN 2 WEEKS.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the LHC?

edit: oops, never mind...just figured it out!

Wow.....opens up a whole new realm of possibilities, doesn't it?

It's supposed to go online in 2 weeks? Hmmmm....interesting. That's about when the October 25th doomsday date is.

I wonder if it's possible to swallow ourselves up with a black hole we created ourselves?

WHO KNOWS FRIEND HAVE A NICE WEEKEND ATS

Anybody happen to notice this on the NASA site?

But what about next time? Following the Vision for Space Exploration, NASA is sending astronauts back to the Moon to stay longer and build bigger bases (read: bigger targets) than Apollo astronauts ever did. The odds of something precious being hit will go up. Should NASA be worried?

So, are they saying that their's already a base up there? Build bases bigger then Apollo? I mean, I just find the wording odd, probably just my take on it.

This is an interesting thread and Yes, this could have very real repercussions if certain things happened during and after the 2 ton bomb strike. Lets say they dont only hit ice but also a large nitrogen pocket. Could a gas cause an exponential chain reaction on the lunar surface? Cold rushes to heat right? So what happens of gas and dust come into contact with the existing hot coronal gas coming from the sun passing by? Anyone think NASA has a larger idea in mind? Ever see Total Recall starring the Governor of California? It would be cool having our own Moon of Endor just around the cosmic corner huh? Maybe in its new atmospheric stage it could bring a danger to Earth before it stabilizes. Lets say the gas from the moon is continuing to rush away from the moon as it does not rotate on its axis, a requirement to sustain gas by gravity. Remember? We never see the dark side of the moon. So as the gas escapes no gravitational doppler effect takes place and this dry ice gas is coming into contact with extremely hot solar gas, which should be dangerously hot due to the beginning of this sun spot cycle (2010). The gas itself has not enough weight to make the lunar surface spin on its axis so it continues to expand over the years making an immense reflective solar storm which reflects the suns rays back towards the Earth and draws this gas ever closer to our atmosphere creating much more than needed IR radiation. The cold air above us in the Mesosphere becomes compressed and lowers to the surface of the planet flooding everything 21 miles inland causing the Earths rotation to slow down and then speed up a thousand years later once again damaging the life spans on Earth. As enough gas is expelled from the moon, eventually, years later the moon begins to turn on its axis. Buts that years later after we have drowned in the cold IR gas plunging us into dark ages, once again, looking for fire wood without electricity.

Pretty creepy huh? It probably will not happen though because you can bet they have studied helioseismology upon the moon for years before they decided to do this. There is no gas ha, what a joke.

to much going on this month. im suppose to go to court but im stuck not knowing what to do.
