We went to the Moon.

29. Are you kidding me? The LCROSS thing again?

Tons of stuff crashes into the Moon every single day. Over a hundred tons of stuff crashes into the Earth every single day.

There were precisely zero bombs on LCROSS. The collision of an empty booster stage into the edge of a crater was in no way "bombing" the moon. It was a research experiment to determine the content of water on areas of craters which are forever in darkness, where ice might not sublimate as in the rest of the moon's extremely low atmosphere environment.

And the crater itself was made by a big fucking rock colliding into the moon. If one looks at the moon through a telescope that's what one sees. There's craters everywhere. That's what nature does to things in a planetary system. It crashes things into it. In the Moon's very thin atmosphere, they all crash into the moon.

NASA did not "bomb" the moon. They did an experiment by crashing something into a crater edge which itself was made by a completely natural process to learn something about a place which we might want to go back to some day. If there's water there, it may be a nice thing to know.

Don't you think?

Did I say that there was no bomb? (Just making sure people got that part.)
