How to Nuke the Moon

A little video NASA made – finally, a COOL waste of taxpayer dollars!

It’s an animated representation of how the moon has changed over the last 4.5 billion years.

It starts a little slow (literally like watching lava dry), but around the 50 second mark, they start simulating very large meteor impacts, and big red mushroom clouds start going up all over the place.

As someone who’s shared Frank’s dream of nuking the moon for almost 10 years, I find this image very satisfying.

  1. Wait…I thought the Moon was created 5000 years ago as it appears today by God…

    I hate to troll my own side, but if you can’t laugh at yourself…well then, you’re probably Muslim.

  2. I’ve read that the Jewish calendar begins from the point in time when “the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” Gen. 2:7
    Everything before then is God’s time, and if he wants to call it “6 days” who am I to argue?
