I can’t wait until the moon is paved, the sentient baby moon-squirrels are all converted to meat patties, and I can go to Wal-Mart on the moon, where my fat butt is inly 1/6th the weight.

Woohaa!

I think we should give Xeni the benefit of the doubt and assume she was merely channeling the whackaloon “Eureka Mindfulness meditation group” point of view on this for comedic effect. http://humboldt.craigslist.org/grp/1367583207.html Xeni’s “views” mirror those of the anti-science woo-woo meditation group’s very closely; obvious parody…..I HOPE.

This is Serious Business. The Clangers will just scuttle under their dustbin lids until the bombardment ceases.

The mindset that has taken over planet earth and thinks it owns it is the warrior-mindset which it completely cut off from its own organism and its interelation to nature.

Like the article says, this mindset is SO bloodymindedly ignore-ant that it doesn’t even know about how to intelligently work with nature which includes intelligent water management, and thus will waste billions bombing the sacred moon!

This show that this absurd mindset would gladly set off to carry on its toxic wasteful BS on the moon and any other planet unfortunate enough to have these ignore-ants land their goofy techno-ideas there or their selves!!
This mindset MUST die to itself. Ego death!

Hey, if we destroy their home, they’ll just come down here and move into our neighborhoods and use our libraries.

@Paul
Thanks for the articulate rant.
Some of us are too hung-over to contribute meaningfully.
I can’t even figure out if this is a piss take or not.

This reminds me an awful lot of an advertisement by The Schwa Corporation.. “Moon Blast: Save The Moon”

I have watched the internet distort this fairly harmless experiment gradually until it has reached Munchausonian proportions.

According to NASA its 2 tonnes of empty booster rocket.

Then due to the miracle of the internet it became a “2 tonne kinetic weapon”

Another Lunatic website quoted “2 tonnes of high explosives which will contaminate the moon with heavy metals” and alledged it would be “the biggest man-made explosion in space”.

Finally it became “a 2 megatonne nuclear bomb” that will shatter the “thin crust of the moon” (did a hollow earther come up with that?)

Me? Why not “NASA wants to wipe out the Nazi moon base and prevent the Fourth Reich”

So cheer up Xeni!

Xeni,

is it really ethical to out so many morons in one go?

yup, let’s give Xeni the benefit of doubt. She has shown herself to be intelligent, witty and sarcastic before.
Of course she can also have her opinion, which seems to be the opposite of what we (who have commented) have.

But switching into the moon men joke without so much as a wink just disturbs me ;)

Y’all Xeni is just stupid an’ if we don’t talk this up it’s probably gonna wind up and exploding us up in our asses! Quick, somebody get Joel or one of the other good ol’ boys in here to fix this. FIXIT!

come on. how do you think all the other craters got on the moon? it gets hit. a lot.

it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than landing and drilling on the moon, plus now we get the extreme irony of having our president awarded the nobel peace prize an hour before we set off to be the first country to bomb a celestial body. U-S-A!!! U-S-A!!!

@benher

The secret alien base on the dark side of the moon?

I always thought it was a secret Nazi moonbase, set up during the last days of the second world war, where Hitler’s chosen few (and their Aryan breeding partners) tunneled deep underground to bide their time and plot the return of the Third Reich on Earth.

Am I misinformed?

@morgaen

Wasn’t really meant as a rant, more a plea for sanity :o)

@arikol

Yeah, in hindsight she could be taking the piss, but it didn’t read like that. Maybe my sarcasm detector is a bit on the blink today. I hope so.

Following some of those links made me laugh and despair at the same time. Love the stuff about the secret aliens on the far side. Especially the “quotes” from astronauts which read like they were written for a Michael Bay film, and of course are from sources who refuse to be named for their own safety :o)

Anyone who thinks the moon crash is a problem, doesn’t understand the scale of the moon vs. the rocket.

Its like a grain of sand crashing into a football field.
Not a baseball crashing into a plate.

@Tekna2007
The Nazi moon base, they’re making a film about that now. The same ppl who made Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning.
Looks good so far, hope they manage to finish it within the next few years.

@Paul
I agree. But sarcasm can get lost very easily in text. Just try using sarcasm in IM conversations or emails, you just might lose a couple of friends…

Alfred Webre…LOL…the same man who states 9/11 was a product of alien beam weapons which were used to bring the Twin Towers down. He’s about as absurd as it gets.

Who cares if we piss off the aliens. We’ve got Duck Dodgers to take care of those kinds of things for us, and if he doesn’t work out, there’s always Space Cadet Porky to back him up.

TEKNA2007 – yes, misinformed, but only slightly. The Nazis ARE the aliens….

I say the moon had it coming!

What about all that full moon madness over the years? Who is responsible for that? THE MOON

And then there are the werewolves. WEREWOLVES! Who unleashes their monthly rampages? THE MOON

If we hand out a little payback, I say it’s about damn time. Maybe the moon won’t be so quick to mess with us in the future.
