Uh, shouldn’t n’ass-uh be busy fighting CLIMAGEDDON!?

[PIF]

we would need 3.8×10^28 J (joules) of energy. That is a huge number.

—
A small black hole would put that much energy out in each second - so its quite doable.

[GOP Congress]

Of course, the entire purpose of the movie is to inject man-made (I.E., MAGA-instigated) ill intent that needs a communist/fascist anti-racist, BIPOC hero to save the day, primarily from shaming every normal white (and non-white) person. At this point, it is a matter of needing to be proven the hypothesis above is correct, as this is the first I’ve ever heard of this nonsense.

Yes, they need to create "equity" in the climate!

But, really, bug-off NASA. Are you going to start critiquing every sci-fi or disaster movie that comes along? Are you going to tell us that Superman doesn't really exist?

[Seruzawa]

Hopefully it be as laughably stupid as the Day After Tomorrow and 2012. Emmerich makes the most unintentionally funny stuff since Ed Wood. They are great for MST3K parties.

Give the task to the “Mythbusters” gang, let’s see what they come up with.🙂

3.8×10^28 Joules?

Great Scott!

[Seruzawa]

Yep. And NASA does this they should leave out the unsubstantiated guesswork like this:

“The Moon was created by the debris launched into orbit when a world the size of Mars hit Earth.”

[Red Badger]

Ever see this bomb?

[BradyLS]

Sounds like a Space: 1999 prequel.

[Seruzawa]

Yes! We had an MST3K party with it. Comedy gold.

[rbg81]

....after the Moon is knocked off its orbit by some mysterious force, sending it potentially crashing towards Earth.

Does this movie being by sending Rosie O’Donnell to the moon?

NASA Spokesperson:

Since Allah is also known as the Moon god, we have top Muslim scientist working on this as we speak.

[Red Badger]

The director(s) of that movie apparently forgot which way is down when they made it...................

[Celerity]

What kind of energy are you talking about?

Black holes don’t emit anything.

[PIF]

What kind of energy are you talking about? Black holes don’t emit anything.

—
Actually they do - plasma steams are often emitted (numerous false color shots of galaxy centers emitting huge light year long plasma streams).

But then you’d need to have the right sort of apparatus to harness the energy of their rotation. I know were you can get one, if you are interested, for just a slight finder’s fee payable to my off-shore account.

I heard Elon Musk wanted a cameo, but decided to just crash the moon instead
