NASA. The worlds number one space agency, run by dedicated men and women commited to furthering Human knowledge right? Wrong-Nasa are in fact a group of loons with access to the planets most powerful explosives, as evidenced by their latest plan:
NASA are going to BLOW UP THE MOON!!
Well, almost. Basically they are launching the LCROSS satellite, it’s mission;to search for water on the lunar surface. So far, so boring. But it’s the method that’s interesting-the probe will detonate a huge explosive device, sending an explosive plume up to 6 miles into the Moon’s atmosphere.
What could possibly go wrong?
