The idiots of the world are thinking that NASA is bombing the moon. Just a booster shell being rammed into it. Not an explosives bomb to destroy the moon.

Just thought of the most (recent) movie: "The Time Machine", in where we had colonized/mined the moon in the future, and something went drastically wrong. The moon ended up splitting apart, and was falling back into the earth (moon's orbit decayed). Hmmmm....

LCROSS, on the other hand, will guide an empty upper stage on a collision course with a permanently shaded crater in an effort to kick up evidence of water at the moon's poles. LCROSS itself will also impact the lunar surface during its course of study.

The earlier joint Defense Department-NASA Clementine mission
to the Moon used a radar-based technique that detected ice
deposits in permanently shadowed regions of the lunar south pole.
It is not possible to directly compare the results from Lunar
Prospector to Clementine because of their fundamentally different
sensors, measurement "footprints," and analysis techniques. However,
members of the Clementine science team concluded that its radar
signal detected from 110 million to 1.1 billion tons (100 million
to 1 billion metric tons) of water ice, over an upper area limit
of 5,500 square miles (15,500 square kilometers) of south pole terrain.

[offsite:2ia68lo4]NASA launches unmanned moon probe
First such mission in a decade will use robotic probes to hunt for hidden ice

Nearly 40 years after humans first set foot on the lunar surface, NASA took a giant leap back to the moon with Thursday's launch of two unmanned scouts. It was the first U.S. lunar mission in a decade.

An Atlas 5 rocket launched the two probes, a powerful lunar orbiter and a smaller spacecraft that will hunt for water ice by crashing into the moon, at about 5:32 p.m. ET Thursday from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The mission, NASA hopes, will lay the foundation for its plan to return astronauts to the moon by 2020.

"We're getting ready to take longer strides. To leave the shallows, once again, and step into deeper waters of what President Kennedy called the new ocean of space," said Todd May, manager for NASA's Lunar Precursor Robotic Program. "The first island we plan to explore is the moon itself, our nearest neighbor."[/offsite:2ia68lo4]

The first thought I had was..."all of a sudden these scientists are changing up on their venue, with the pretense of the moon being a 'dead' floating rock orbitting our earth, to...now ALL OF A SUDDEN, there's something MORE GOING ON?!?!?!"

Golly Gee.

[offsite:3pbk0utf]U.S. TO BOMB MOON

There are no aliens up there, as far as we know, but the Americans are preparing to bomb the moon.

A space mission blasted off from Cape Canaveral today carrying a missile that will fire a hole deep in the lunar surface.

But this is no gung-ho display of firepower - it is actually a serious quest for water.

Nasa scientists expect the blast to send out a plume of debris visible from Earth.

There's only 3 logical reasons.

1. What we know about the moon is wrong, and there ARE areas of concern to be determined, as well as mathematical calculations to be concidered in providing up-to-date data on the properties of the moon.

2. (Include #1) - NASA LIED, as well as other key player researchers involved in lunar exploration/information/etc.

3. Outside influence. Celestial anonamly? - 'interacting with the moon'.

He liked my 'I flew a microwave popcorn bag to the moon' comment and he even had a sketch. Good enough for me. This stuff is called opinion, although a few get heated at times. No biggie, at least here.

Guess he expected everyone to always agree with his position or at least give up and give in. He seemed to sling it with the best so I wonder about his leaving for his given reason.

GS NEWS EXCLUSIVE REPORT

GS NEWS can now announce that a careful study of the Clementine photographs seems to have sparked the interest of NASA by giving the agency a clue to the the possibility of the existence of water on Earth's largest satellite. The image in question was discovered by Mr. John Lear after an exhaustive study and seems to indicate that, while not conclusive, there may be compelling evidence of the well known beverage on the moon. Here, as a General Striker exclusive, is an enlargement of Mr. Lear's photograph of the anomaly in question discovered in Copernicus Crater.

some of the shit slung from the Beaver was getting out of hand , even for this joint.......that never seemed to bother him too much though , the admins sorted it out and the place settled back down to standard mayhem, I would attribute the last departure to a combination of the abuse, quite a nasty tone it had, directed at Pari Spolter, and the general response to just about anything said. The 2 main actors there have not been about since .........

anything is possible in this world, and as long as it is offered as a possibillity and not claimed as a hard fact, its possible for a reasoned conversation to take place, but to claim anything as fact without any hard proof is when things come unstuck , would not surprise me at all if a lot of the stuff he says turns out to be true.......around here I guess he freels like a Ford owner at a Chev rally :alien:

Pari Spolter

(grumble)

Every half-wit with an iota of drug induced insight and a minimal classic education is looking to take pot-shots at Einstein.

Problem for John was that he signed on with a half-wit who's bullshit wasn't up to even the most cursory of real-world observations. If anything Pari let John twist in the wind, forcing him to defend her work against folks with a greater level of insight. I hardly see that as our problem.

Alternative theories for physical reality are fun to play with but in the end they still must be accountable to that very reality. Pari obviously didn't realize that.

John baited personal attacks. "Attack the information not the man" might have been our rule, but it wasn't his. You really can't blame anyone that got drawn into it for doing so.
