-snip-This is real; I saw it.
I had read about this last night. 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?
I hope a big moon rock will land in my yard so I can sell it on eBay :D
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.
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. :/

Why can't NASA throw 1 million dollars at my house? D:
