NASA will blow up the Moon

[Meson]

On October 9th, NASA will begin our assult against the Moonites!

NASA's Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) is racing toward a double-impact on the moon at 7:30 am EDT on Oct. 9th. Today NASA announced exactly where the crash will take place.

The target crater is Cabeus A. It was selected after an extensive review of the best places to excavate frozen water at the lunar south pole

So we'll have more bombs popping up around the world after this?

[Leader Desslock]

If I remember my Space:1999 correctly, making things go BOOM! on the moon is a bad plan. Didn't work out well in Cowboy Bebop, either.

[SapperSix]

The man on the moon will not be happy about this.

[Black Cat]

now dont blame the moon people when they decide to attack us a few years later

[autsiticanime]

First the negaverse, now this?

Man, those Moon Kingdom people never get any peace, eh?

Ain't that the truth! How sad!

[Nano]

They're doing this to get some space ice?

[goddessofanime]

And if the aliens invade us, we'll know why...

[Siendra]

They're doing this to get some space ice?

Specifically to excavate water ice. If there's a significant enough amount of water ice present in a single location on the lunar surface it will make travel t other planets (In particular, Mars) much cheaper and much easier.

It's clearly a plot by the Space Defense Front. Clearly. Don't worry, INTO will handle things.

[Arnold]

Didn't Master Roshi already do this?

[Old Ape Face]

Didn't Master Roshi already do this?

Twice? (Filla yo)

[taily]

Has the whole thing gone wrong or are they crashing it for fun.

[Caster13]

Didn't think of that. Our tax money at work people.

[old hat]

No that was Piccolo.

[superplough]

Roshi did in in Drasgon Ball, Piccolo did it in DBZ. How it came back is beyond me.

It's all about plot holes.

[Ridley-X4]

A wizard did it.

[Old Ape Face]

A wizard did it.

no it was Dr. Evil.

Roshi did in in Drasgon Ball, Piccolo did it in DBZ. How it came back is beyond me.

it was wished back, by Veggita becuase he couldn't tranform into a giant ape without it.

How he managed to get the dragon balls to make wish I didn't watch that much.

[fujyoshi]

D: what did the moon ever do to us?

[Mikosage]

D: what did the moon ever do to us?

It caused high tide and ruined my sandcastle, that's what! :crybaby:

[Trefellin]

D: what did the moon ever do to us?

It sits up there... Mocking us.

[Lacan]

And all of this for moon water. I wonder how it will taste. Mmm moon water.

[Siendra]

It's for producing Hydrogen fuel, not for drinking.

[Spike]

So now is a good time to point out the movie "Time Machine". We all remember what happens at that part of the movie.

Quoted for Truth.

Are you serious?

[superplough]

Yes I am serious.

In the second tournament there was a reverse-werewolf who got all annoyed at Master Roshi for blowing it up, because it meant he was stuck as a wolf all the time.

[Old Ape Face]

Is he serious about a character blowing up a large ball of rock in space? Why wouldn't he be? that is the workings of fiction in anime, anything could happen.

Same with wishing it back, and then blowing it up again, hehe.

And believe me blowing up the Moon by a single energy blast from an old guy's fist, isn't even the oddest thing that happens in the DBZ storyline.

[fujyoshi]

It caused high tide and ruined my sandcastle, that's what! :crybaby:

/heh you build sand castles for real? I thought that was a kid thing. Oh well I never even been to the beach so meh.

you must be more paranoid then me /heh

Mikosage is a professional sand sculptor.




And the Moonites shot first with their Quad Laser. We are just finishing them off before they learn to aim.

The Quad Laser will arrive in 2012.

[chibiyume]

well looks like we wont' be searching for the full moon in the future we be searching for the half moon XP

[Meson]

Resurecting this thread because the day has come. Tonight at 4:20 am PT, LCROSS will doulbe bomb the moon. The crash should be visiable from ground based telescopes. NASA TV and its affiliates should be carrying it live.

Yeah, I like this. This is exactly what's going to happen as it happened thousands of years ago to Neo-Queen Serenity, the princess, and her people. These people who are going to blow it up really are evil. :lol:

Seriously, I don't like the sound of this, and who knows if it will have a negative reaction with the Earth. Dumb NASA government controlled people.

[Victory]

begun the moon wars have

Maybe they consider the Ginzuisho to be a WMD...

The dragon balls? Duh?

They did it between seasons when you weren't looking.

[Anamin]

I'm not sure, but something tells me it'll be durned expensive. . .:P :cheers:

Moon Water isn't made for Drinking, it's for Hydrogen based fuel resources.

"MOOOOOOOON!"

-Immortal words of Piccolo. Long live TeamFourStar.

[Boomhauer]

I remember this thing. I tracked this when it launched from Cape Canaveral. It was built with commercially available, pre-existing parts at a relatively low cost. The impact really has no greater effect than that of the average meteorites that impact the moon all the time. Apparently the results of this mission would help determine whether a moon base would be feasible in the future....

.....either that or it's a preemptive strike on the mooninites. If that's the case, we have nothing to fear. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force already dealt with them.;)
