Jun 17 2009Oh Great: NASA Plans To Blow Up The Moon

I've been wanted to blow that damn thing up for some time now...

Suuuuuuurrrrrrreeeeeeee

This is all a cover story... the truth is, they're finally going to blow up that Secret Hideout with the giant frickin' laser.

I heard about this & wasn't sure if it were true or not but.......

Nothing good will come from this.

Wow! That would be amazing if the moon has a large body of water. If there is water on the moon, we would see a space colony created on the moon ... maybe in our life time!

wow...i feel like a boss knowing that-that still of the moon, is from the remake of "The Time Machine" that came out a few years ago.

Is that picture from the movie 'The Time Machine'?
Now I need to go watch that movie again.

I wanna talk to Samson! Fly me to the moon like that bitch Alice Kramden!

10 points if you don't use google.

larrythecableguy IS SUPER SUPER GAY, I guess great minds think alike.

Verne was right all the time!

Chuck Nunchuck, thats from Half Baked, by my main man, Sir Smokes A Lot
"Doctor says I need a backiotomy!"

@9 half baked

SHOOT THE MOON, i think it's time we...

There's plenty of water on the moon. There has to be. It's where pygmy jerboas come from and they've got water under the surface in their tunnel systems. Where'd you think they get water? From a giant water bottle? That'd just be silly.

there are no cats on the mooooooon and the streets are paved with cheese!

#12 and #13, let's go spark one!

looks like a still from the Time Machine to me, by HG Wells.

Verne was From the Earth to the Moon

I'm living on the moon. Dibs on the crater to the left...

FACK THE MOON

Isn't this how Space: 1999 happened? Just 10 years late.

Lovin' the Fresh Prince reference. "Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Boom!"

Space Odessy 2010: Moon Perils

I can see it now.. starts out *PEW PEW* in space, but then...something goes wrong, very wrong, and the AI *gasp* in the missile turns it around and we have to convinve it to keep going to the moon because it is armed with megaton H-bombs

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck down where Jake notices fellow student Max Cooperman (Evan Peters) getting beaten up on campus. Jake rushes to Max's aid, only to discover that the "bullying" he disrupted was actually a street-kickboxing match. Everybody present, including Max, demands that the astonished Jake leave.

I need to change my name any ideas?

better website - www.fairfaxunderground.com you can swear too kiddies!

That moon needs to quit the crack.

How bout NAAS

@25
Sir Lemon Pen*s

@25 really? The name naas bothers you enough you'd post that? That's kinda funny

we're earthlings, let's blow up earth things!

OK, so rock, paper, scissors on who get to be Ookla!

ok, correctme if i'm wrong, but wouldn't chunks of the moon be blasted towards the aerth and kill us all??

consider yourself corrected.

what a convenient way to test a nuke... might as well have said "durr we look-ed for water!!!!!"

Once again, Mr Show had this one predicted about 10 years ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csj7vMKy4EI

Did you all forget when we wanged a comet?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Impact_(space_mission)

thats gonna mess up the tides on earth

These scientists are really pushing the limits. If recreating the big bang here on Earth wasn't zany enough, now we're going to cause explosions on the moon.

Desperation my friends. The elitists want to get the hell off of this rock before it goes KABOOM!

hey Geekologie writer, it's *green* cheese boobs, not blue! what were you thinking!?

and i hope those NASA scientists have calculated whether or not causing a giant explosion on the moon's surface will alter its orbit, or anything else that may destroy us all accidentally.

Sound like we are going to get those mooninites once and for all.
The innocent shall suffer... big time

Not the first time, folks. During the Apollo Program, the SiVB boosters from Apollo 13, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16 and Apollo 17, were crashed into the Moon in order to perform seismic measurement.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-IVB

Whoever thinks that flying a missile into the moon is a good idea should be strapped to it when it launches... To think that someone would be stupid enough to do it... Even crazier than the thought...

Education time:
From Wiki: 'Tides are the rising of Earth's ocean surface caused by the tidal forces of the Moon and the Sun acting on the oceans.'

The human body is made up of 65% water. To think that the moons phases have no effect on our own internal 'tide' would be ridiculous. Next time everyone seems to be a little off around you... A little extra grump and edgy... Check to see if it’s a full moon...

But back to my point... To launch a missile to the moon would be risking chaos with the tides which not only play a key role in human life but also animal, plant and marine life. Well that would be just plain stupid...

Just my thoughts on that... Let's all hope they have their calculations right... So 2012 the Mayans and Nostradamus predicted? Looks like we are well on our way...

@17 Just one?!
I smoke 2 joints in the morning
I smoke 2 joints at night
I smoke 2 joints when they blow up da moon
it makes me feel alright

Um. Yah okay. Can't all of human kind sorta take a vote on this?

Cause if they f*ck up my tides somebody gonna get hurt real bady.
Somebody.

oh real great ..!

Mr. Show, as prescient as ever.

http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/1c81d0df12/mr-show-america-blows-up-the-moon-from-thaffner

What happens if they do more damage than planed and the tides on earth go crazy. What was that bad time travle movie, where they messed with the moon and caused the total destruction of the earth? Shouldn't we spend some money and our energy here on earth to fix the proplems we are faceing right now? Instead of screwing up outer space.

Did no one in NASA watch The Time Machine?! Like seriously. Orson Wells people. Water on the moon [A GIANT ROCK]???...

..dumbest idea I've ever heard!!

*stomps foot in protest*

Saps, xo

The hell with that little missile. Let's launch and detonate a 100 MegaTon Hydrogen bomb on the moon on the 4th of July. Imagine the size of the mushroom cloud with 1/6th the gravity and no atmosphere to contain it. That would be the best 4th ever. Unless you're the geekology writer that had a small cloud drift overhead at the time of impact.

Maybe it would turn the moon to a pile of dust and it would rain moon dust on earth. Nothing like a shoveling your driveway of 5 feet of moon dust every morning for the next 1000 years.

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where MAx and several of his friendsfly to n astreroid thats gonna hit the earth, and drill a hole into it, for a nuclear bomb.

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie where Alex travels in time to 2037, where he finds that the Moon mining operation has(and drill a hole into it, for a nuclear bomb.) disrupted the lunar orbit. As a result, the Moon is breaking apart and showering Earth with massive chunks of rock.

Duh the Movie is Time Machine based on H.G Wells classic, the version...

nice cover story nasa. its going to be funny when that bomb "accidentally" falls on north korea.

obama will appear on television and say, "sowwy folks!" then immediately start dancing off camera to some rag-time piano.

oh and also, this bomb is no big deal. look at the moons surface. its taken much harder poundings than we are about to give.

ZIP ZAP ZIP, lmfao...you are funny as hell, this site makes my work day SOOO much easier.

^^kenney

i know right?!!

I immediately thought of Mr. Show when I read that.

Didn't they already blow up the moon, twice?

Oh wait, that was Dragon Ball. Nevermind.

Estan todos locos....

Just like #56 said, no it wont make whole moon explode.Since human cant make that big bomb. I dont think that even biggest bomb that i know(the russian 1, dont remember the name) would make big scratch to the moon.

AND if that god damn missile hits iraq/iran, or north korea, i say it was CLEAR that it was not an accident.

There's no water there! They obviously haven't seen Dragon Ball Z

Well guys... it was nice knowing y'all since everything the scientists are doing are leading to the end of this world. Lets hope that the aliens come and rescue us

All gravitational pulls would be shot to hell and we'd all squish to the ground and die. Sad huh?

I always knew that NASA was a menace to society!

Aren't there colonies yet on the moon? Or have they been sleeping all these years?

Its a conspiracy, they are sending up a flag to plant to counter the conspiracy theorists questioning on the moon landing.

Well, it was nice knowing you, gravitational pull that keeps our ocean's tides in check. 2012 is going to happen now. Did you see that teaser? the government isn't going to tell us anything.....ANYTHI....wait, what? They lie to us already? Well then. Can I ride the rocket into the moon?

I loved that scene in the remake of "The Time Machine" starring Guy Pearce.
Here's hoping that if this does fail, that it looks as cool as this.

Man the 2012 trailer gave me the chills with the tides rising, I hope I get killed with a Meteor :P

Um, so does this foreshadow some ridiculous disaster that eventually makes the surface of the earth totally un-livable because we accidentally blew up a huge chunk of the moon causing gigantic asteroid debris from the explosion to rain down on earth for the next 200 years?

if they landed on the moon 40 years ago why the hell not just go back and drill for water, i aint a scientist but surly blowing a hole in something that controls our waters and atmosphere is not a good thing if the moon was meant to have a hole in it it surly would already be there they are crazy. God help us all.

This is a coverstory for their real intentions, which is to obliterate evidence or lack thereof that we ever flew to the moon, or didn't.

only horus can save us now

yeah blowing up the moon to see if there is water in/on the moon would be a great discovery, havent they already found water on it though...
if they wanted to search deeper couldnt they train up some astronaut miners to dig deeper in one of the craters... it isnt a good idea blowing up the moon, nothing good will come out of this, for every great discovery has consequences, especially ones that havent been thought out propely, we are going to have partially man made meteors crashing into the earth and where do they think all the debris is gonna go just keep floating around up in space, it has to go somewhere sometime, and the earth seems like one of the places its gonna go. i could be wrong but if this effects the earth and all its tides and stuff that people are talking about, and the world ends than maybe the mayan calender was right...(dont know what it is, google it) the world is going to end soon. hasnt earth gone through enough... and now they are going to blow up the moon. If there is a god... now would be a good time to do something...

Yeah what a bunch of daft bastards at nasa. Osama bin laden is hiding on the dark side of the moon in a cave.

This message is for Gladiator;

First of all we wouldn't be allowed to even step foot on our moon. The Plans they have had have always been for the elites, they plan on leaving us here and killing us off anyways... Not to be pessimistic but we're just the dung on their shoes that they scrape off at the end of their day... (its all about the money and who has it) about the only way you will ever see it is if you had a company that was making their banks rich and/or of course were a freemason. I agree with JFK in the words he spoke 2 weeks before his death, saying we should get rid of all our secretive society's, Besides the fact that they just hold us back anyways... We can never attain total freedom until our ways are not kept secret amongst ourselves.. Why would you hide something anyways unless it made you embarrassed to be apart of it.

There is no reason to "blow up" the moon other than some secret military reason. A reason that they will never tell the public. It's not about finding water on the moon. They are pukes that lie. Do not believe the lie!!! They are all idiots in NASA! We have so much shit to deal with here on Earth and Obama approves of this donkey of an issue. Millions and Billions of tax dollars on a complete waste. Throwing a missle on a planet that supports no oxygen, no atmosphere, no sign of ants, and definitely no warmth from the sun like we do. This is bullshit! This will totally screw up the weather because the moon is what makes things happen down here. If we did not have a moon there wouldn't be an Earth....likewise with the sun. This will be a major mess. Guaranteed!

THIS IS SO REDICULOUS, Y WOULD U WANT TO BLOW UP SOMETHING GOD CREATED!!! GOD AINT GOING TO ALLOW THIS, SO GO AHEAD ND SEE THAT THE WORLD COME TO AN END!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When is this supposed to happen anyways??

Havent people come to the conclusion that the moon is A ROCK?
So now theyre gonna think like idiots and say it has water inside??

If we blow up the moon then the weather patterens nd crap will be messed up, think about the waves out in the ocean. will the moon have enough pull to make the waves? I say that as the time goes by, more people think that they can do whatever they may because theyre smart enough, they have the technology. If you dont realize it yet, i'll say it. YOU ARE IGNORANT. Have you thought of what can go wrong? Whoever thought of "blowing up the moon to see if it have water inside of it because well! i dont know! because we can!" idea, well then i guess it takes a 5 yr old to figure how retarded that idea is.
congrad! youve just became an oficial Tard!!

Are you people serious? I fear for humanity...

honestly,if anyone has payed attention in pyhsical science,and earth science, the outcome will not be a good thing.What do we use the moon for? think about it.In biology,we need the moon because it procides a certain amount of light at night.Think about the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon and when the moon goes will you all be thinking the same thing? Some of you need to go back to school foreal. But we'll see what you think in a few days.

and another thing,this will affect the enviornment as well as possible evolution into the near future.Why not just land on it and mine the damn thing. Most of this govening system is corrupt anymore.

Why would tehy blow up the moon.. Wat if the chuck of moon that wazz blown off come crashin down to earth.. That wouldnt b kool..

Wow.. Blowing up the moon.. That would b super kool to watch.. lol

Yea.. Mii mom iz right.. It wouldnt b kool if the chunk that wazz blown off came towards Earth.. But i bet me mii brother and mii mom would love to watch it Explode... BOOOOM!! haha o.O

and mii sis.. ^^

Yea.. Mii brother iz right.. That would b super Awesome to watch.. haha ha

o.O They are tellin the truth mii kids are Awesome.. ^^

i think it is crap that they are blowing up parts of the moon, who cares if there is water on the moon. i mean yeah that would be cool but are you really ready to risk fackin up this planet by checking out the other? the moon controls the tides, and everything lets say we take a chunk out of it then what will happen to our planet? sure we have messed it up already with the trash and crap but do we what to mess it up more? cant we just leave things as they are?

this is about he dumdest thing that i have gheard in a realy long time they dont realize what it would do to religions like, oh lets say wicca for instance they belive that their power and energy comes from the moon so how is this gonna effect them not to mention the tides the moon regulates the tides and helps to balance the orbit of the earth that we live on so.... what will that do to those of who dont weant our world to be oh i dont kow knocked the hell out of orbit and sent flyin out into space if they send it into the earth and if theres water on the moon how exactly are we suposed to get there to get it we wouldnt have to worry about living there if we kew how to keep the earth that we were given in a contition THEN WE WOULDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT LIVING ON THE FACKING MOON!!!!!!!!

"Just who the fack do they think they are!". Did you notice they didn't release they're intentions to blow up the moon until it was to late to protest? they're would have been significant opposition , they didn't even give us a chance , and lets face it it's as much my moon as it is your's .And is this a global effort , headed ,by nasa?No i will not capitalize the word nasa today. It is adark day for mankind. Awe'd by nasa ,as a kid with the appollo missions , sickened ,apsolutely sickened!!!! by nasa as an adult . smooth move retards

In the Name of Creator God that made two great lights, the greater to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night.
The Moon helps vegetables to grow, The Planet Earth wiil have a famine 2012 ? and few men will be left on Earth. The Planet will burn due to the Sun Heat, the Moon keep the Earth Cool. The Human Race witll all go Blind from
the Sun without the proper function of the Moon. NASA should stop this
Insane Plan to Destroy Life on Earth !
Is NASA the Lucifer, Satan the Devil people out to kill the Human Race !
Who is in Control of NASA anyway Madmen ?

@78 i 90% agree with u besise the obama part because im a fan.......but i thnk blowing up the moon is a dumb ideal because anything can happend from that..........and sometimes if you try and make things better u can actually make it worser and this shooting a missle into the moon thing is just like saying that

Stop watching Faux new

The facts are a 2.5 ton Satellite will be hurled into the moon to verify the existence of water.

The moon crater Bruno was caused by a 120,000 Megaton blast, that's 120,000,000,000 tons of TNT, or, 2400 Nukes. That's not even the largest Crater on the Lunar Surface and the Moon is still there.

That's like me telling you I am going to run you through with a toothpick. It's absurd and everyone needs to stop getting worked up over EVERYTHING.

Wow like that's really going to happen. First off, it's not up to NASA. The "N" stands for "National," and the USA is not entitled to the moon. Also, blowing up the moon would mess up the earth's orbit. I don't know what else to say. This is silly.

PS - Virginia, what in the world are you talking about? I can understand and possibly agree with about 25% of what you said, but the other 75% is ridiculous. I'm sorry.

Man there liers there not gonna do that there finally sending one of those rover things on the moon why would they blow up the moon instead of just like drilling into it morons!!!!!!

Do we know how deep that crater is?? what if its like really deep to the core of the moon and we split the moon in half?? i think its a bad idea

If NASA blows up the moon, get ready for World War III and get ready to bring torches and knives to kill these people who blew up the moon.

NASA IS STUPID!

i just love how they dont tell us about their planst o blow up our moon until its too late to say anything about it!!!!! they tell us about this insane idea months after they start it so that we have no chance to oppose them THE GOVERNMENT IS MEANT TO PROTECT US NOT TO POSSLBLY KILL US ALL WITH THEIR INSANE IDEA TO BLOW UP THE MOON!!!!!!! where is our vote isn't that the point of a democracy government by the people for the people? where exactly are our civil rights and why the hell are they being taken feomn us with out our knowlege. we should atleast be notified when our wold is being put at risk in the name of SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION

i completely agree wit chelsea and laura how can we trust a goverment that would lie to us about somthing this important why didnt they tell us? OH YEA CAUSE WE WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM THEY WERE RETARDED AND THAT THEY COULDNT DO THAT WITH OUT TELLIN US FIRST WHICH THEY DID how are people not seein the fact that the government is lyinbg to us how are you people soo calm about this im freakin out!!!!!!! IM WICCAN AND ITINK THAT THIS IS THE DUMBEST THING EVER SEEIN AS HOW THEY ARE BLOWIN UP THE CENTER OF MY RELIGION THIS IS LIKE BLOWING A HOLE IN JESUS FOR ALL THE CHRISTIANS WHY ARENT THERE RIOTS IN THE STREET OVER THIS

That is crazy. I can't believe they blew up the moon. Although I like boom boom blow up things. I hope to blow up Cina >:D. Jus.t kidding But it is pretty cool!!!!

I love how they blew the moon up. Boom boom boom. Ooooo, I'm having taco's tonight. Who likes tacos???? Mexicans rule. i just farted. I smell like beef stu. I'm dirty. Um.......ok bye.

I wish there was sexy moon ladies so they can come down to earth and come live with me. Sleep with my fluffy pillow. I'm sexi.

my problem is who the hell gives these ppl the right to do these things????????? don't the think about us normal ppl who is satisfied with the way the moon is we don't care if there's water or life on the moon,, why don't they try to see if the can find water on the sun... what if something went wrong and a piece of rock came tumbling down to earth what would they said oooh my we're very sorry about that.... what the hell?????

los de la NASA son muy inteligentes pero no se han dado cuenta q cada accion tiene una consecuencia o les vale madre ya estan haciendo crateres en la luna y esa es una consecuencia la naturalesa y el espacio son inestables no sabemos lo q pueda pasar si se pasasnde liston y hacen que pierda el balance con la explosiones, hay una posibilidad q si se pierde el conmtrol de la luna pueda afectar las mareas y provoque sunamis en toda la tierra por favor yo les pido en general q se opongan ha esto la luna nos pertenece a todos no sola a una nacion q lo unico q busca es la destruccion del planeta..............

I really don't get the point of this, why would they blow a hole in the moon, it might not be true but what if part of that moon has something to do wit the earth's oxygen or something.... OMG. Do they try to look into the negative before the positive things. I just dont uderstand, its just pointless to me. who cares if the Moon might have water in it... just let it be a mystery . If they so curious drill a hole there selves and see if water appears, not cause destruction to the moon......

Dunno about it helping the oxygen on earth, but one thing is... so what? Water is bound to be found anywhere if you look hard enough. Earth has many problems as it is, how is this helping anyway. Yay we found water on the moon, now what? i would not drink it. lol. besides the cost of getting it here, if we had to, who's gonna want to pay for it ? It would make more sense if NASA was looking for other forms of fuel or energy, but i guess if that was the idea, blowing up a section of the moon wont be a good idea now. Everyones got money to waste. Oh well.

Blowing up the moon wouldnt help determine if there is water because by the time they do figure it out THERE WILL BE NO MOON.
and what going to happen to night? ever think of that NASA

i think that some things are not to be touched. Humans are pushing too hard, and i think science has far oto much money along with technology that they do not know what to do with it all. So they put 100s of millions of dollars in to rockets and space programs to ask questions that they will never get answers, and if they do then long run will be effects from there actions. Touching anything outer space is definately not a human or any living things responsibility. If we dont know how or look at space as a act of brilliance and natural why would humans want to get involved. We are no way more intellegent that nature or what put us all here of the planets. So why do we think we can just go blow up part of a planet. What if there is more water than they ever imagined in the moon and a certain part is hit like 2 plates on earth causing a huge earkthquake waiting to happen. Then thing you got all this water pouring out of the moodn in to the atmosphere , im sure that could lead to many problems for our whole solar system. planets all have moons around them they are and must be more important than any human can imagine. We have been using the moon and suns guidence for thousands of years. They are a source of all living things on earth. tampering with such a fuse surely will be fatal for everyone and everything on this planet not to mention their beloved solar system. I think science should put there play money they spend in to serious things like curing desease , or feeding a small country while we are living on earth.

If they find water on the moon what we gona do , all live up there with space suits on , or we gona do total recall and instead of living on mars in the film we are on the moon. I mean one thing it will solve is population problems on earth. Or it could end up being a transportation to 2 months work on the moon going and coming by shuttles better than a cab or train i guess) Well what ever it is its all been done in hollywood films and books since a long time.
Man will kill the earth but it looks like we are more interested in messing up things in space around us first.

in the press interwiew when the missile hit the moon, The nasa people sat there talking about so much crap they really did not get or show what they was looking for. I gues in there minds they was thinking
a) when do we get to go up and blow some more shit
b) we gona use much more bigger rockets and missiles this time
c) how much will the government ( ermm i mean public ) give us to blow more of the moon
d) is there water still on the moon.

hey if they get bored on the moon they could always go to mars and see how long it will take to cook a whole chicken on the surface now that would be impresive and more important to bring that chicken back and have it on screen next to them in the press conference. SO if there was green murky water in a jar at this press conference i guess it would be something tangable and maybe see interesting if they found water. or they could have just pulled the water out of lake and fool the world once again. I mean moon landing , why is the flag waving and horizontal if there is no gravity, shouldnt the flag just float up and all twisted.

If they want to blow something up i got 3tonnes of concrete that needs coming up in the back yard

you guys do know that the moon blocks the sun at night without part of them moon that could effect the earth

Honesty you would think they have smart people at nasa, jeeez we may as well have monkeys doing everyones work at nasa... ohh wait we already do... what did the monkey deside to blow up the moon,,, i want a banana ohh wait lets blow up the moon, THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENTS ARE MONKEYS

Doesn't the moons gravity affect our earth? doing this might affect us somehow. Im sure NASA probally has looked at this, but I say we should just put a drill on the moon. I highly dought there is any water on the moon anyway. low gravity and no atmosphere. unless its frozen it is unlikely
