Nasa blew up the moon!

[Mitchman]

I am not shitting you. They have or at least will blow up a crater on the moon so they can find proof of water on it. What are you're thoughts on what the outcome could be and find any articles to make sense of this!

The US government has probably found out about Madara's 'eye of moon' plan.

/naruto reference

Wow, this could be really good for scientific space advancement.

Heard about this on the radio, they're crashing a rocket on the moon. The people on the radio said it sounds like something that happens when nerds get drunk.

As Gizmodo says this has to be the most awesome idea of the decade but instead it turns out boring.

I wanted to watch it through a telescope this morning, but alas it was cloudy. Anyway, good stuff. I hope they get some useful information from this.

But it's for science. And all goes back to this.

Has no one read "Life as we knew it"?

But yeah, I watched the vid and saw nothing. So... yeah. Yawn.

When I heard about this... I though WTF?! RANDOM... The moon had better have water for the good of it's health... Wait... -_____- MOON DOES NOT FEEL ANYTHING. So let's fire something at it!! And hope our time was wasted...
And yeah my news station cut off some of the taping... T_T did it look awesome?

 

[Falconwing]

T_T did it look awesome?

Not from what I saw.

 

[Scarlet Sky]

WOW... I hope there is water... (I doubt it)
All I got to see was a hole in the moon... probably the most Exciting footage of it. That was not sarcasm unfortunately... -___________-

 

[DerMißingno]

They already know there's water, they just want to find out how much.

Well, hopefully there's enough that blowing it up won't matter.

 

[X Dragoon]

Let's just hope that blowing up a fraction of the moon won't take out that large of an amount of water...

 

[Torgetsu Kon]

I'm just finding out about this now, which to me is strange. I thought something like this would have been more broadcasted than it was (though the vid was somewhat boring, so I guess they might have not advertised it as much because of that reason).

Also, I strangely thought of Sonic X when I read the title of the thread...

Camp Lazlo, huh?

Wasn't the spectacle they were expecting.

NASA is saying maybe they were at the wrong part of the Moon.
