We Like The Moon

but if it ends up changing the moon's orbit,

Please tell me you weren't being serious.

TGRR,
Has seen Space 1999, too.

Not that serious.  But at least it sounds better than "It'll offend the great mother moon goddess"  There's always the "it's a huge fucking waste of money" arguement, but that one's kind of boring.

I am going to use a pea shooter to knock our engineer's King Ranch pickup truck across the parking lot.

Explain to me how firing a bigass rocket at the moon just to watch the impact is a "waste of money".

Who's "we", white man?

I think we should nuke the moon. WWWDCD?

I think nuking the moon is PRECISELY what Washington DC would do.

Thanks for ruining the joke, Enki.

http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/21394.html was going to be the eventual punchline, once someone asked what DC stood for, but now, of course, no one will.

Why must you kill the funny?

I assumed it stood for DCup, but then I got thinking about DCup and giant phallic objects and lost my train of thought.

Careful, that might lead to assault.

Too late.

TGRR,
Needs to order a new desk.

Well, the general idea was to watch the impact plume for signs of water... since the recent discovery that the moon has water on it. They're trying to figure out where it came from, and the bottom of deep craters might be the answer.

As for knocking the moon out of its orbit... the galaxy smashes far worse things than a rocket into the moon on a semi regular basis.... that's how the craters got there.

Mostly, however, we should SAVE THE  MooooooooooooooN!

I can't see your pic at work, but the above statement justifies the cost.

Clearly those who think our blowing up parts of the Moon is a bad idea have forgotten that those Moon bastards brought this upon themselves.

I'm thinking regime change, Tom.

Which is the usually approach to modern warfare.

You still need to bomb them into submission first.

Have you picked a puppet leader to win the moon's first ever 'democratically' held elections?

Not yet, we have to do the important stuff first.  Like order purple paint and lots of film.
