Icy Moon Shadows

[Synthetrix]

The moon has been hit by meteors that yield far more destructive force for over 4 billion years and it's still there. Relax. The moon will be with us for a long time.

[lifes40123]

people r stupid bobming the moon why the fuc r would bomb the moon u know what happens if the moon explodes earth will no longer have seasons and stuff then we all die stupid fuc n nasa

[WolYou]

The moon explodes because of bombs ... is you for real or was it just too much TV? Can a mosquito suck all of an elephants blood in one go?

[sp0745]

Even if we wanted, we wouldn't have enough explosives to blow up the moon. The explosion this impact generated will have no negative effect whatsoever: the moons mass and its orbit are still the same. Yet the benefits are great. Water has been discovered. And if you read more articles on that, you would understand why this is so important. Think for once.

[lifes40123]

we do have enough explosive. we even have enough for earth to blow up

[Hominid]

WE HAVE BEEN THERE. Astronauts put a mirror on the moon and we're able to shine a laser out to it to get a reading of how far away it is from earth. If there wasn't a mirror placed there purposefully, then we wouldn't be able to measure the distance accurately. Therefore, this very object proves the missions to the moon were real. Yes you can claim the moon rocks are a hoax (and they're not), but the mirror is the only definitive proof we were there. END OF STORY.

[Deke101]

I DO have a special anger towards fucktards who defame our national heroes and deny the achievements of this country. I ALSO take it a bit personally because my sister is NASA personnel and our families frequently get together. NONE of you idiots have a CLUE about NASA people. What if some shitwit claims YOUR family were all Nazis and then comes out with made up bullshit to try to prove it?

[Deke101]

Look up Constellation Project and the LRO and end the ignorance.

[Deke101]

Proven? LOL! Yeah, I've seen that so-called proof. NONE of it has made it into a credible scientific peer reviewed journal.

I know, you and your fellows need some kind of social outlet since those bed-wetting and hygiene problems you have exclude you from the mainstream. I guess I can't fault you for at least giving social interaction a try, even if it is only by keyboard.

You guys really need to work on this self loathing and spitting on the accomplishments of others thing.

[SkyShaw]

lol

[didjabringadidjalong]

hahahaha oh wow

[cfytcf]

It's amazing the number of people who say "it's all been proven" and yet don't actually give a shred of that proof.

But then, why bother learning about things when you can go to a conspiracy theory website and have the "real" knowledge handed to you?

[smartsteve]

No wonder Obama wants to send poeple there ,because they never did!

[Deke101]

You know, smartsteve, for a guy with the word 'smart' in his screen name.... Oh, never mind. Why should I even bother?

[smartsteve]

I appreciate you realise am smart,but on the subject I believe that man never landed on the moon,this is just my believe and it did not came out of a research or so although i found out that a lot of poeple proof it ascientifically that man never landed on the moon,anyway what if then what if now ,we will see.

[Deke101]

No, it has NOT been proven scientifically that we never went to the moon. In fact the exact OPPOSITE is true. Over 840 moon rocks brought back and studied by every credible institute on Earth and not ONE of them claim ANY of them are fraudulent. In fact no credible scientist out there is a moon hoaxer. We WILL see, and very soon. Look up Constellation Project.

[SkyShaw]

Oh god, shut the fuck up. Jesus christ, seriously. Thank god for the internet right? Or else crazy retards like you would have no place to spout nonsense. Seriously dude, the only thing people like you are good for is giving the writers at Cracked something to make fun of. I can't wait for lunar tourism, I will personally pay to fly you to the moon and watch your fucking head explode when you realize what a wasteful existance you have.

Okay I'm done. God damn, that was cathartic.

[cfytcf]

... and very amusing to read.

[RicoS08Tx]

@SkyShaw Watch Moon Rising you will be very surprise!

[DiEs3L123]

i thought water was needed to make ice..

i m not very into science stuff but astronomy amazes me a hell LOT!!

[pyxlated]

"Ice" is a molecular state, not a particular substance. It just happens to be the solid state of a sufficiently-cooled substance. (Solid, liquid, gas.) But water-ice may indeed be on the moon in small quantities, thanks to millions of meteoric impacts. That's what the video is about.

[LongBeachPits562]

@DiEs3L123 They found water on the moon a while back. Not just a little bit either, a pretty decent amount

[teemuruskeepaa]

You do because I tell you to. Who's an idiot?

[KnightBiologist]

There's also the presence of Helium-3, tons of it blown there by the sun, which means the possibility of fusion power... fusion-drive rockets. It's science fiction stuff now, but we know how that can go.

[teemuruskeepaa]

Fusion power, Richard Branson's colonization of the Moon. Too small opinions, dude!

[teemuruskeepaa]

There is not that much water in the solar system and dry rocks are not uncommon. You've just seen on the mass media just the water news. I think that water on the moon can be recycled out of the toilet so that it never wares out. It just needs Nuclear power plants for the purification process.

[garethbrum1]

how will they support a mission on the moon just because of ice? who's to say its h20!?

[jimrbsn]

Ice on the moon seems entirely reasonable.

[Yoda8232]

Hmm, interesting.

Should be investigated in 2015 or whenever the next mission to the moon is.

[Cnidarious]

fascinating.

Unfortunately i don`t think anyone will go for it.

Modern space programs are far too modest in there ambitions.

[teemuruskeepaa]

That's because there is no global government for amassing resources for mega-projects. Instead we have marginal nation-religious space programs, that have to compete against politics and profit. Capitalist market economy is a pre-space ear tech and have to be overthrown by democracy and planning before modern space exploration can begin.

[KnightBiologist]

Why not private ventures? Look at the X-Prize; Branson's work, space hotels..., ideas like that. Maybe government just has to get out of the way!

[Cnidarious]

Private funding could never afford the necessary resources and technologies to go all the way.

X-prize is fun and all but were never going to see it do anything terribly significant like build a space station or produce sustained space flight.

[groundhog0339]

I'm sure an all powerful world government could get mankind into space quickly. However, I'm not sure the loss of freedom is worth it.

[Cnidarious]

That is a manner of opinion. Just the loss of freedom.

[groundhog0339]

Like I said, a limited one-world government is an oxymoron. There is no such thing. Be definition, a one-world government would be all-powerful.

Best case scenario, they fail.

Worst case scenario, they succeed and, just like in Star Wars Episode III, a tyrant is "voted" in.

A one-world anything is a really bad idea.

[FubarAndBoner]

Why do you think a world goverment would mean loss of freedom?

[groundhog0339]

A limited one-world government is an oxymoron. By definition, a one-world government would be all-powerful.

Best case scenario, their "one-size-fits-all" policies make them as worthless as the UN.

Worst case scenario ... imagine if they "voted" in a tyrant.

[JestonXi]

sure it is :3

[piratakamrata]

Cool..

[abood2rude]

nice :P

[RapistAsshole]

Very interesting, great video,

[MiGP1981]

Wow!
