How 'bout this?

[spodefly]

The problem isn’t the aliens on the moon ... it’s the Klingons on Uranus.

Being fascinated by this idea, I Googled “2-Ton Bomb of Moon” and found that it is really not a “bomb”, but they are going to crash the rocket itself into the moon. A similar project was the KAGUYA explorer. It was launched by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and it was intentionally crashed into the moon on June 11. Here are some cool HD pictures from that mission.

Well...ya got me there.

Oops! The moon seems to have cracked.

We are very sorry.

No blood for, um, water!

Oops! The moon seems to have cracked....

... releasing it's contents of ten trillion barrels of light sweet crude into a massive space oil slick.

... releasing it's contents of ten trillion barrels of light sweet crude into a massive space oil slick.

Sounds like the end of Arthur Clarke's "The Nine Billion Names of God":

Overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out.

Naw, but it might knock the moon out of earth orbit. Just think, it will lead to global warming, alter ocean tides, eliminate the full moon violence theories and that damned face will not be smiling upon us! /S

Quick!!! Someone write a sternly worded letter to NASA!!!!

I am deeply worried about human ignorance. The attempt to bomb moon is the height of human ignorance. Our material quest of nature without understanding the Truth of Nature has already rendered earth and cosmos unstable. If you stand back and observe, we note that the natural catastrophes have both increased in number and magnitude in parallel to explosion of material knowledge and material exploitation of nature. It could be suicidal to stress nature without first understanding the Truth of Nature, its interrelationship, oneness and its working. I write this comment as a scientist who worked in the field of biotechnology and set out seek Truth of Nature. There is an important point to which I wish to call worlds attention. Earth is balanced by two opposing cycles of energy. When west awakes to sunlight and goes into disorder, east simultaneously sleeps to darkness and goes into order vice-versa. These opposing cycle maintain order and temperature of the world. The increase in temperature and consequent climatic catastrophes we are observing can be linked to the fact we have upset the energy cycle of nature. Unless humanity awakens to this truth, we are bound to see some of the worst natural catastrophes and mother earth’s destructive reactions. I speak to you from the back drop of over two decades of selfless research that gave me insight into Truth of Nature and its functioning. I call upon the media and intellectuals in the Temples of Science to look at it. The site where the information exist is “Awakening to Truth” http://sites.google.com/site/awakeningtotruth
