why???


The spacecraft will not head straight for the Moon. First it will orbit the Earth a number of times while its precise target is identified. Finally, it will send the missile into the Moon at twice the speed of a bullet on October 8

do you know what type of bomb?  Is it nuclear?

its a kinetic weapon and they claim to be looking for water

there is NO water on the friggin moon....i can tell you that right now....

any and all water would have evaporated for lack of an atmosphere....how stupid are we supposed to be?

[ToxicAvenger]

here we go
http://www.rense.com/general86/moonbomb.htm

Apollo missions forty years ago left retro-reflective mirrors on the Moon, to measure its distance relative to Earth. Lasers send out a precisely timed pulse, and can measure the distance to within a fraction of an inch.
 
Now the National Science Foundation is going to cut funding for the McDonald laser ranging station at Ft. Davis, Texas. [1] We hear of millions to billions of dollars being pissed away by pork barrel projects. And "National Science Foundation" kills this project that consumes a paltry $125,000/year?



2. The displacement of lunar material will follow Newton's law about equal and opposite reaction. This means that an equal force will be exerted on the Moon to match the force it takes to eject miles of material. No one can actually predict what will happen, just as NASA failed miserably predicting the results of another experiment. In a previous mission, a NASA spacecraft fired a high velocity copper warhead penetrator into a comet's core. The results were not what they expected. This is because popular science theory really believes comets are dirty snowballs. Instead, the actual results were already predicted by the electric universe theory. Comets are not dirty snowballs which is something many of us already knew. Yet again, NASA refused to use common sense and look at theories based on real evidence and science, such as the electric universe theory.
 
3. If the McDonald Moon ranging project is cancelled, no one will be able to measure the displacement of the Moon caused by the explosion. Perhaps this is the idea by cancelling the project



4. Exploding a bomb on the Moon is against all international laws and treaties. NASA doesn't own the Moon and they never will, and as such have no right to instigate such madness. This madness is on a par with the utterly insane space elevator


5. Last but not least is the water issue. This is one follows yet another big lie. Almost every book about our solar system claims it is nearly a perfect vacuum. So how does water behave when exposed to a reduced atmosphere? The speed it evaporates (sublimates) is in proportion to the amount of atmosphere present. If a window blows out of a plane at 50,000 ft. water and blood will boil. And that's not even in a very good vacuum.

If it's a "kinetic weapon" there will be no explosion?  It's just like throwing a rock at the moon? 

[Hugo Chavez]

so there are no explosives of any kind?  What the hell kind of bomb is this?

from the first link i posted

Scientists expect the blast to be so powerful that a huge plume of debris will be ejected

this will happen when you throw something at something else

so the same as every other thing that comes along and hits the moon?  I don't think we should be sending anything to impact the moon, but it's way worse if this is an actual bomb and I'll really be against that.  I'm just not sure what the hell this is.  So no explosives then?  I tried to search more info but all I could find was that apparently during the cold war, the dumbasses wanted to explode a nuke on the moon as a show of strength....

just google "nasa to bomb moon"    ...i just have a problem with them selling us " we r looking for water"

the first article i posted (post 1) is from scientific american

2) NASA doesn't own the moon

I think it's just some kind of heavy object that will throw off some debris when it hits?

I'm pretty sure the people of Attilan will NOT be pleased.

i'm just saying....when ya intend to throw something big enough to cause a plume at the MOON


it kinda shoulda at least made the news no?

an asstronaut take a shit in the space station and it makes CNN

plus they r specifically looking for WATER    ....seriously?
i guess neil and buzz and all those other ventures couldn't figure out that water will evaporate QUICK in space      what a multibillion $ waste....u mean to tell me they checked for EVERYTHING BUT water?

water on the surface might evaporate but what about water under the surface which is what they are looking for...

I dont disagree its a waste of money but stop trying to make it into some nutso crackpot CT

look how long comets last.  chunks of ice and other crap.  no atmosphere either, so obviously frozen ice doesn't just boil away instantly in space.  and there is a very small atmosphere on the moon and Hydrogen and Oxygen have been detected along with several other gases.

that ice is buried deep inside a comet...
lets hope this things digs a hole more than 30 feet....
which its not...on different sites...the figures range from 6 to 16 feet
PS...there is no atmpsphere on the moon  

it is worth noting however, that while this greatly exceeds the density of the solar wind (a component of the lunar atmosphere), which is usually on the order of just a few protons per cubic centimeter, the lunar atmosphere is less than one trillionth the density of the Earth's atmosphere at sea level

there is an atmosphere on the moon.  It's just very very small like I said.  It does lose it's atmosphere to space but it's constantly being replenished from things like radioactive decay giving off radon and shit like that.  There's several gases that are detectable in the moon's atmosphere.  It's just like extremely smaller than our atmosphere but there is an atmosphere to the moon.  Your wiki reference actually backs up what I said.

man next thing you r gonna be calling quantum mechanical fluctuations in empty space the result of the uncertainty principle as "atmosphere"
