NASA to bomb the moon

To kill the aliens of course!

But seriously:

NASA plans to launch a powerful missile aimed directly at the South pole of the moon with the goal of blasting a hole in the lunar surface. Space scientists believe the blast would break up any lunar ice trapped underneath, propelling it above the moon’s surface, allowing NASA to detect the water molecules.

The search for water and other natural resources in space has long been a goal of space exploration. And finding sources of water on the moon would make future lunar missions easier and less costly, if there is no need to transport water from Earth.


Various links, pick and choose.

Whaddya think? Sounds pretty weird doesn't it? That NASA are off to bomb the south side of the moon. Apparently it's going to happen friday morning. I'll be watching the moon to see if I can make out any small explosions.

Also, I hear they are streaming it on the internet.

Sounds like a pretty good idea, unless they fuck up and send too big of a missile or something and end up blowing up more than they planned. Finding water on the moon would be cool as hell.

Since Kappy isn't here, i'll step up to the plate.

This is most likely nothing to do with finding water. i'll bet it's testing new weapons or something

Hm.. I don't really approve with the fact that they're gonna bomb the moon. Not that its useful for anything, but still.
I don't think they will find actual water, as in liquid form, nor ice.

Maybe its just a new weapon test. Aren't they bombing enough already on Earth? What's next, bomb Mars? <_<

Could be both, two birds with one stone.

Wow, pretty cool idea.
However, I feel like it's a pretty big risk...

Oh well, let them be. They usually know what they're doing... :roll:

Weapon Test? Hadn't thought of that, quite probable actually. I dunno why, but bombing the moon for water just sounds a bit stupid. Maybe it's just me.

EDIT: Either that or they think Bin Laden is one the moon, after exhausting all other options.

What if they wake up a bunch of pissed off rabid aliens that previously remained dormant for eons?

Technically, they're committing an illegal act which violates UN space treaties.

But the UN is controlled by the US so what does it matter. The US can break any damn treaty it likes, you aren't subject to laws you carrry out.

What's stupid about looking for water on the moon? Finding water there could be one of the most important discoveries in the US space program to date. It would make it so much easier to plan prolonged stays on the moon - nobody's ever landed there for more than a few days.

If the US wanted to test weapons, I doubt they'd do it through NASA. Furthermore, I'd doubt they'd fire a missile at the moon to test it.

No. They'd just say "well, that's why God created Nevada".

Not really, it's highly possible that they could be testing space based weaponry. They're firing it in to space then aiming it at a certain place. If it goes wrong on earth, misses the aiming and wipes out a whole country, America won't come off too well.

I also seriously doubt the missile they're firing has anywhere near the capacity to wipe out a country. They're talking about breaking possible ice caps. This isn't a nuke or anything. They're really not violating any treaty, because the only treaties right now that anybody's signed or ratified only prohibit placing weapons in space or on celestial bodies for later use, or using them in a non-peaceful manner, and of course, detonating nuclear missiles in space. Despite what so many people seem to think, the government isn't just blatantly lying constantly. I have plenty of tinfoil that I'm not using that I'd be glad to give to you conspiracy theorists. (BTW, I'm not trying to say that the government isn't full of lying dirtbags, but they'd really have no reason to lie about this.)

i agree, this is one of the dumbest things to have a conspiracy theory about. really, it's no big deal, they can do what they want, but i highly doubt they're finding a damn thing. i could nerd out about why, involving the initial forming of the moon and all that shit, why it wouldnt make any sense for it to have water yadda yadda but just take my word for it... it will be a failure.

I fully support this. Government agencies are fast running out of natural real estate to destroy and exploit here on Earth, the Moon could provide a reasonable alternative to the rainforests and mountain ranges. Hey, maybe they'll even find some oil reserves up there, bonus! Here's to another century of raping God's masterpiece.

No offense, but I don't know what peace is. Never felt what it's like.
No, see, weapons testing of moon missles is just what they want the conspiracy theorists to believe. It's all a cover for their actual secret weapon:

NASA still exists because the D.O.D. and Pentagon need it. detonations on the moon are probably as goodwilled/serving to the people as HAARP is.

NASA is and always will be an extention of military. They don't even provide telescope updates to the media anymore until each picture is declassified by the Pentagon. Richard C Hoaglund might know more about the recent change in policy.

NASA is a smoke screen and havent accomplished much since Nixon, other than black ops and USAF compartmentalization. Corrupt.
