Seriously. The impact is expected at 6am Central Time. Get out your telescope or watch it online at NASA's site. They're doing this to try and find more water on the moon like they did recently.
Oh, and we're fucked.

This is a joke, right? Because they're not blowing up the moon… They whacking it with some shit to throw up a dust cloud they can take shit from.
Yes, it's a joke.
They're trying to see if there's any water up there they can use to possibly facilitate a moon base.
Which is the next step towards colonies.
Which is the next step towards… colony DROPS.
I can't believe someone is actually going to
NUKE THE MOON.
Well, they're not blowing it up in the strictest sense of the word, but they're sending a goddamn fucking missile.
Just…...oh god, I have no words.
This is good. We need to make sure our anti moon missiles work before the terrorists set up their laser bases.
You've gotta be fuckin' joking me. :wassat: What the heck were they drinking in Nasa when they came up with that one?
why the moon of all things?
as long as it doesnt go wrong (Daylight 24/7 anyone?)
Moon water, duh. Wonder what it tastes like…
You've gotta be fuckin' joking me. :wassat: What the heck were they drinking in Nasa when they came up with that one?
They're thinking "hey, if there's water on the moon, we can set up moon bases to better study shit! Or just to have some god damn moon bases!"
Pretty much.
I don't really see why anyone would have a problem with this.
Why isn't anyone thinking of the Moon people? :/ Where will they go if Nasa blows up their home? And what about Enel? Won't he kill all of us if his precious Moon gets damaged? D;
why the moon of all things?

I was spoofed by the thread title. Remembers me the "Bild Zeitung" the german equivalent of "the sun".
This idea is terrible.
Tight fisted NASA using the cheapest option possible Lights pipe and grumbles more
Hey, I got scared for a second.
WHO IS GOING TO SAVE US?
No, seriously though, what if they really do try and blow it all up someday?
…You just reminded me of this:
It's from the 2002 "The Time Machine" film. Basically at a point in the film lunar colonies go wrong some time in the future and they ruin the moon. :P
it`s all against madara…great
The NASA is going to unlock the 10 tailied beast but God Enel will stop them.
That moon thing from Naruto is true? Christ, that manga has to be a big joke.
Well, it's 10am and all seems well… Next up, Mars!
I love hearing the loonies on AM COAST TO COAST call in and complain about NASA bombing the ancient alien (or maybe human) artifacts/cities on the moon… just because. That's what the evil empire does when you can't get fully educated.
I'm sure bigfoot was probably walking on the moon and NASA aimed at it, according to those callers. That show is a circus of insanity.
Nasa: "Okay, we would like to set up a lunar base on the moon in order to do research, and of course the workers will need a place to work. But in order to set up this base we would need to have water as it's necessary to survival. We believe that there is water located under the surface of the moon but we're having a hard time figuring out how to get at it. Any ideas?"
Nasa Intern #37: "Slam a missile into it!"
Nasa: "Now why didn't we think of that? Nice work!"
why the moon of all things?
as long as it doesnt go wrong (Daylight 24/7 anyone?)
Uh, yea… sorry, what? I can't my head around this. Why would... :wassat:
But cool. Water is nice.

The moon is not responsible for day and night – in fact, you can often see the Moon in daytime -- the Earth's rotation is responsible for day and night:
Here are some sites that explain the concept of day and night in very simple terms:

The Moon has bigger craters than the puny one the missile made.
Oh come on now, everyone knows the moon makes it nighttime!
Actually when I think of moon disasters I think of Thundarr the Barbarian. :sideways:
They should hire Piccolo for the job.
Roshi did it first.
So basically:
1. Circle the moon with a probe.
2. Slam a missile shot by the probe into the moon.
3. Slam the PROBE into the moon.
Nasa's so awesome .
Guys, you all get it wrong!
The guys from the NASA have read the latest Naruto chapter and decided to save us from certain doom by blowing the moon up.
They are cool like that.
Edit:
Hey somebody DID get it!
@dirt:
just in time

buy the moon away from Madara
Where do I sign?
All you bitches are invited to chillax in my new moon pool, once it's done.
What if the moon gets angry and decides to go all Majora's Mask on us?
You call the four giants of course .
What if the moon gets angry and decides to go all Majora's Mask on us?
Enel would be more pissed.
if nasa wanted to save us from certain doom they shoul have shot a misile at kishimoto
I smell a conspiracy. There's no way a dust cloud would've come up the way it did after a missle hit the moon. Someone must have planted explosives on the moon and detonated them right before the missle hit.
Roshi Beat them to it. THAT's how awesome he is, yeah.

Daylight 24/7 would be a pretty good reason to blow up that damn moon. Think of all the energy we'd save by not needing lamps at night.

Dude, when it comes to the moon, it's nothing BUT conspiracy.
There is no moon. It's all a government conspiracy to hide the existance of their weather control satellite. What we think is the moon is actually a giant flat-screen monitor displaying a boradcast of Woodrow Wilson's stained and weathered ping-pong ball from the White House rec room.

It's fucking George Bush, I know it. Probably some scheme to steal oil from the moon. Which doesn't exist.
bush would never blow up anywhere.

Wait, is the moon real?

Oh shit! Someone blow the NASA up!!!!
NASA will be punished…
…IN THE NAME OF THE MOON!!!

"After blowing rocks and debris off of the moon, scientists will then bring the rocks back to Earth and try to drink them. If it's refreshing, they will know if the moon contains water."
We all know the moon is alive, poor guy must be thinking "What did I ever do to you?!" up there about now.
Yes, what DID the moon ever do to us? So many things. But none of them were bad… or so I know.
Nasa's going to do this again and cause a giant tsunami. You heard it here first.
