like with all the shuttle delays they had to decide whether they were going to launch this moon probe or fly the final piece of the japanese space lab up into orbit
i had actually forgotten about this because, as you said, the schedule and funding were questionable. i was just looking forward to LRO. i'm stuck working on totally uncool stuff like GOES-R.
just bitter i guess.

guys what if this lights the moon on fire which heats up the planet which makes us global warmed so we have to stop using our cars for the ozone sphere?

Hopefully we'll discover some hidden Prothean ruins that will enable us to finally travel to different parts of the galaxy. One small step for man, one giant leap for boning blue space bitches on the Citadel.
So just I'm clear, the plan is to ram a rocket into the moon to create a hole and this LRO goes flying in after it, 10 minutes later?
NASA doesn't exactly have the best record when it's strategy involves crashing machines into static objects at high velocities and then expecting said machines to survive said crash and send back data.
Maybe we should just spend the money to send a human being back to the moon and give him a shovel or digging device. Or a divining rod. Unless they can't because....we didn't actually land on the moon. The dark truth is revealed!!!!!

Actually, NASA has a track record of crashing shit pretty well instead of lightly bouncing it off the surface in a huge balloon, all because they failed to convert from metric to standard units like big boys and girls.

The original U.S. estimate of the yield was 57 Mt, but since 1991 all Russian sources have stated its yield as 50 Mt. Khrushchev warned in a filmed speech to the Communist parliament of the existence of a 100 Mt bomb (technically the design was capable of this yield). The fireball touched the ground, reached nearly as high as the altitude of the release plane, and was seen and felt almost 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) from ground zero. The heat from the explosion could have caused third degree burns 100 km (62 miles) away from ground zero. The subsequent mushroom cloud was about 64 kilometres (40 mi) high (nearly seven times higher than Mount Everest) and 40 kilometres (25 mi) wide. The explosion could be seen and felt in Finland, breaking windows there and in Sweden. Atmospheric focusing caused blast damage up to 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) away. The seismic shock created by the detonation was measurable even on its third passage around the Earth.[7]

heavenly bodies are not static
yes mars may be rotating on its axis, but the ground wasn't moving when the probe smacked into it

I kind of hope we're the Klingons of the galaxy. That humans are the crazy war like savage beastmen and the rest of the aliens are all hippy fucking pussies who will look at us like we're insane savages. They'll kiss our ass though because nobody will want to fuck with us, because we'll kill you and rape your corpse.

you don't seem to understand
planets whip through space at thousands of miles
perfectly guessing the trajectory and accurately hitting it are not easy

what if this bomb made the moon go so fast it made the earth start spinning faster and we all got thrown off
sending us back in time

Or like a moon embryo that if frozen and then destroyed has moon cells that can be used to repair the cracks in the moon.

57 million is a really big number...
But, 57 million tons?
That's a lot of TNT. (Equal to, that is)

Liam Neeson would be a terrible Link because he can't use his most precious gift.

That video is unnerving. Unlike all the other ones on youtube, which are cleverly scored.

that is a computer simulation
also, the fireball almost reached the ground

Oooohhhh, I didn't realize that, I thought it was actual footage of a nuke going off. Still, that's mighty impressive.
