It will either be the end of the world as we know it or it will be an absolutely amazing discovery.  ha.
Either way, I'm not quite sure if I want to be here when it happens.

It said the explosion will be visible in amateur astronomers' telescope.  I wonder what time it will hit.

If needed, I could try using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation to try to see what kind of effect this will have on the moon. However, in all reality, I don't think it will be very drastic.

Somebody in Obama's Administration has been playing Majora's Mask to much...

In any case, tomorrow should be interesting.

Didn't they see "The Time Machine"? I mean the remake.

On the other hand, what would happen if we brought water (if any) to Earth?

Probably nothing noticeable. I mean, astronauts can only take so much, and even in comparison to bodies as large as the moon, the immediate effect would be negligible.

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

I just picture a bunch of guys in white coats opening beers and high fiving each other while they stare at the moon from their balcony.

"Last year, British scientists identified regions where water might be found on the Moon and estimated that there could be enough to fill one of Europe's largest reservoirs."

But what would they do with the water? There is no efficient way to bring it here to Earth and getting it to where we want.

I guess they could sustain a colony, but that's it. Just in the Moon.

It's just arrogance.  We must find out because we can find out.

This is what we're bombing:



Do we really want to make this thing mad?

But seriously, we won't bomb a country we're pretty sure is perfectly willing to bomb us back, but we'll bomb the Moon for the Hell of it.
