DD, will you record this with your super duper home telescope and post it onto youtube for us? Be sure and zoom in on the 1st moon landing debris while you are at it. Thanks!

I'll never understand the reasoning of people who don't understand the importance of this kind of thing.
this is either a prank or one of the stupidest things I have ever heard of. Not cool, NASA, not cool. What gives them the right to shoot the moon? This isn't some desert in New Mexico.
Blow a hole in the Moon just to see if there is any ice or water inside? That makes zero sense. This sounds like they just want to test out some nukes. In three years, leave Texas. That's all I'm saying.
The idea isn't new. The Deep Impact mission was a very similar idea. We crashed a rocket into a comet and had a probe there taking images of the aftermath and collecting debris samples.
This is crazy. Everyone knows in order to blow up something in space, you have to send Bruce Willis, have him dig a hole 800 feet into the ground, and blow himself up. Lame
Everyone knows this is leftover from the Bush administration. They are pretty sure they have finally found Bin Laden's hiding place.
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is a group of all-singing, all-strumming Ukulele players, using instruments bought with loose change, which believes that all genres of music are available for reinterpretation, as long as they are played on the Ukulele. A concert by the Ukulele Orchestra is a funny, virtuosic, twanging, awesome, foot-stomping obituary of rock-n-roll and melodious light entertainment featuring only the “bonsai guitar” and a menagerie of voices in a collision of post-punk performance and toe-tapping oldies. There are no drums, pianos, backing tracks or banjos, no pitch shifters or electronic trickery. Only an astonishing revelation of the rich palette of orchestration afforded by ukuleles and singing (and a bit of whistling). Audiences have a good time with the Ukulele Orchestra. Going from Tchaikovsky to Nirvana via Otis Redding and Spaghetti Western soundtracks, the Orchestra takes us on “a world tour with only hand luggage” and gives the listener “One Plucking Thing After Another”. Using instruments small and large, in high and low registers, whether playing intricate melodies, simple tunes, or complex chords, and sitting in chamber group format dressed in formal evening wear, the Orchestra uses the limitations of the instrument to create a musical freedom as it reveals unsuspected musical insights. Both the beauty and vacuity of popular and highbrow music are highlighted, the pompous and the trivial, the moving and the amusing. Sometimes a foolish song can touch an audience more than high art; sometimes music which takes itself too seriously is revealed to be hilarious. You may never think about music in the same way once you’ve been exposed to the Ukes’ depraved musicology.
<br> This seems like an insanely big deal. Yet, no one seems to be taking notice. It's been some 40 years since we landed on the moon. We've had no return trips since then. Now, recently out of nowhere we find water on it. So, our next plan of action is to bomb it to find more. Wouldn't it make more sense to field a long overdue second landing on the moon? How is there not a huge international debate going on about this... Where do we get the power to decide to do something like this? Even if the chances are minimal, couldn't this potentially be catastrophic? Yet, it is being played off like no big deal. If ever there were a time to say, "there's more to this than we're being told" I think it is now...
