Nuke the moon

Years ago someone made the joke about nuking the moon as a sign of superiority to other nations. The rationale behind it was the idea of who would fuck with a nation so crazy that they would fire nukes at a completely uninhabited stellar object? Well, nukes might not be used in the lacross mission, but they are most definitely trying to blow a chunk out of Luna's ass.

"The attack on the Moon is not a declaration of war or act of wanton vandalism. Space scientists want to see if any water ice or vapor is revealed in the cloud of debris."

Fuck that, this is totally an act of interstellar vandalism. We're sending 2 tons of TNT at the moon to blow a chunk of it into space just to see if there's water there.

This says something about the nature of America. No wonder God doesn't reveal himself, we would launch missiles at him to see if he bled. *gets struck by lightning*

I also want to point out the name of the mission, Lacross, and the similarity it has to a famous anime, Macross.
