Why are we bombing the moon. Not for water i know that much. We have instaments to take care of this. What in gods name are we trying to do on the moon. what human activity on the moon are we preparing for? sounds very fishy and i dont like us messing with celestial objects for the hell of it.  |
It does sound fishy, but the moon will be just fine. Most craters on the moon exceed 25 miles across and the largest one being over 1500 miles across. Imagine how big and fast that meteor was traveling to create that crater! A meteor can easily travel at 30,000 miles per hour and it had to be huge to create that size of crater, so our little 5000 pound probe traveling at 5,600 miles per hour will seem like a mosquito bite to the moon!
But with all the other countries having already mapped it out and crashed probes into it for soil composition experiments, why do we all of a sudden feel the need to do it? Very fishy!
