Air Force had top-secret plans to nuke Moon. (No, not that Moon.)

  • They don't like the moon?!
  • Goodnight Moon.
  • Damn fuyugare, don't get my hopes up. I knew the Air Force wouldn't nuke Rev Moon while the GOP is in office.
  • Jesus, Sagan kept his mouth shut about this idiocy? What else did he know about?
  • What? That was just a Mr. Show sketch!
  • An asinine project, without point or purpose.
  • If we don't act on this quick, we'll have a moon gap on our hands.
  • Somewhere up there Dr. Abian is smiling.
  • Seriously, third season of Mr. Show.
  • Actually, if you discount the aesthetic aspects, doing nuclear testing on the moon is a far better idea than doing nuclear testing on the *earth*. I mean, shit, people live here! It's not as if they were going to blow the moon to smithereens, after all.
  • And how cool would that be, to watch that mutha go off from your backyard telescope? Significantly cool, that's how much.
  • It might be good if we didn't nuke the moon before we knew for certain that ground zero wasn't also a big cache of He-3.
  • Forgive my lack of chemistry, but does He-3 blow up or something?
  • IANAC either, but I've been told that He-3 is heavily used in fusion reactors in the future.
  • This just reinforces the idea that it's very important that those travellers from the future among us speak up more in the public policy arena.
  • I thought The Tick saved the day in the middle of the deface the moon project.
