My best friend thinks the world is going to end, tomorrow, because the Moon will explode, and rocks will hit the Earth and blow it up. |

I hope a big moon rock will land in my yard so I can sell it on eBay :D |

They're launching a "Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite" (otherwise known as LCROSS, abbreviations are so much fun). They're going to launch two parts of the LCROSS at the moon at approximately 6,000 miles per hour, sending up 6.2 mile high plumes of moon dust. First it will drop the booster rocket, blasting a hole about 90 feet deep. After the LCROSS brown townyzes that plume, it will launch itself at the moon, creating a second 60 foot deep hole. Isn't science fun? --- End quote --- Acronyms. :) --- Quote from: Deep2 on October 09, 2009, 12:43:56 AM ---I hope a big moon rock will land in my yard so I can sell it on eBay :D --- End quote --- Yeah it would totally not burn up in the atmosphere hurf durrf |

--- Quote from: TheChaosCarrier on October 08, 2009, 09:20:48 PM ---Just imagine the Human race expanding far beyond our Solar system to colonize new worlds. There's even a possibility of us living on one of Jupiter's moons. But to venture to a point of long distance space travel, we would need some device capable of transporting human ships to the speed of light to bring us to other systems. BRILLIANT! There's been a theory that without the moon, the Earth would wobble on its axis, creating major differences in Global climate. Deserts would be rain forests, grasslands would become vast deserts of endless heat and death. --- End quote --- That last little part there is bullstuff. Just because some areas has a desert doesn't mean that it will turn into a rain forest. It would depend on the tilt of Earth's axis and where the desert was. Don't pull things out of your ass and expect us to believe it. :/ |
