It's about time. Sometimes at night, when I am making sweet love to the ladies, the moon shines in through the window and makes the lovemaking all romantic like, and then the ladies get all moony-eyed, and then the ladies get all matrimoniacal and try to tie the thadeus down (in a metaphorical sense, I mean) (okay, in both senses). Damnit, I'm on a schedule the ladies! Thanks NASA. ------------------------------------------------------------- PHOENIX - NASA plans to crash a rocket into the moon early Friday, blasting a huge hole in the lunar surface to search for hidden water. The explosion, scheduled for 4:30am Arizona time, is expected to visible with from Earth using amateur telescopes, according to NASA. It's also expected to be aired live by NASA-TV and on www.nasa.gov/ntv. According to NASA's website, the Centaur rocket will make impact at the Moon's south pole. Scientists tell Scientific American Magazine that they expect the blast to be so powerful that a huge plume of debris will be ejected. A spacecraft will fly through the debris plume, sending data back to Earth before crashing into the lunar surface and creating a second debris plume, according to NASA's website. Why blast a hole in the moon? NASA wants to see if any water, ice or vapor is revealed in the cloud of debris. If there is, that might provide supplies for a future manned moonbase. [the thadeus note: YOU BETTER NOT BE LYING THIS TIME NASA. I GOT MY MOONBOOTS ALL READY TO GO.] Friday's explosion is part of NASA's LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite) mission looking for lunar water. ----------------------------------------------- (p.s. please no "that's no moon" jokes.)
I wonder who proposed the "lets just blow that POS up to find the water" idea at NASA... That can go one of two ways after you pitch that idea, either "youre a ****ing idiot" or "good god you are a genius".
they should have dubbed it "The Alan Parsons Project" after the noted Cambridge physicist ....... Dr. Parsons.

Would be funny if the moon exploded or was push out of its normal orbit. Of course, any such change could have dire effects for our own planet. Still...would be funny. "You arrogant asses. You've killed us." Oops.
Mr. Show was way ahead of it's time. It magically ties in fringe rhetoric. And FattyFat makes a sidelinin' cameo @1:18.

I'm sure if the moon was pushed out of orbit, it would take less than 3 years to start a chain reaction of death and destruction.
