  • I didn't realise this had turned up on youtube.

    I can confirm that the lunar penetrator is designed to measure seismic activity and moisture density beneath the lunar surface. In the most simple of terms this would give a better indication of what the moon is made of and it's age in comparison to the earth, which in turn would unravel some of the mysteries, surrounding the creation of the moon.

    My source was heavily involved within this project.

  • Comment removed

  • WTF is the point of this? now we are trying to figure out how to shoot the moon with missiles? I'm usually the last person to call out someone else being stupid, I do a lot of stupid shit but this takes the fucking cake.

  • How come no matter how wide a crater is on the moon it is NEVER more than three miles deep? and why is the bottom of every three mile crater concave? If the moon is solid why did the pre-manned landing instruments on the moon record reverberations lasting for hours everytime something else hit the moon? Kind of like a pebble hitting a gong. I suppose you all learned what you did in school. Oh how hard it is for the hardened hearts of men to change.

  • Every theory about the moon being a natural occurence has been DISPROVEN. If you were to research it you'd find more evidence supporting my claims than to anyone elses. The fact that you simply label me a conspiracy theorist and walk away shows that you truly dont have any viable arguments to combat my ideas.

  • correlation does not mean causation

  • Well if you do have reputable sources go and edit the wikipedia article. They will read your sources and accept it and you will win a noble prize of sorts. Unless of course you don't have them.

  • "Every theory about the moon being a natural occurence has been DISPROVEN", and yet the entire scientific community is oblivious to this? Or is that a conspiracy too? Maybe you should compile your evidence into a paper and have it peer reviewed. Maybe you'll win the Nobel prize... LOL.

  • Bahremon2170, your just spouting conspiracy theories. Backed by ABSOLUTLEY NO EVIDENCE.

    You really are a moron to stress such a thing on other people, stressing such a thing even though you have zero evidence, is truely idiotic.

    And Jvergakis. We have been to the moon, dont give in to conspiracy theories.

    Youll wind up like bahremon.

  • But you can't be 100% true earthier. What you just said is hypocritical. "just spouting conspiracy theories. Backed by ABSOLUTLEY NO EVIDENCE." To be exact there is no full evidence that they did anyone landed on the moon or not. In fact I'm probably more wrong now, however no one is 100% on facts unless every piece of evidence goes towards there favor. For example... theres no such thing as god because no new discoveries of Jesus being alive or nonexistent has been made or disproved...

  • The "fake moon landing" conspiracy theory is one of the most pathetic. To put it simply, it would be much easier to land on the moon than it would to create the biggest hoax in history. The video and audio editing technology and techniques did not exist. Coutless people would have to be in on it. They would have to fake the launches, the disasters, the communication relays, the landings.

    Face it. They landing on the moon.

  • Landed^

  • Okay, just to answer your 'no evidence for landing on the moon'. That was actually proven by measuring some radiation from some equipment (if I recall correctly, else it was something similar). Dont ask me for details, but google and learn if ya like.

  • that doesn't prove they went to the moon. it is possible to radiate objects, police do it with money in banks... i'm very sure they're able to radiate some metal

  • Well yeah, but it was some special kind of radiation. I'm afraid I don't remember details though. But really all this 'never went to the moon' is just (imo this is) something some people that have too much time has come up with. Anyways, they're going there again in 2020 or whenever, bet they'll do some extra to make the retarded types around the world believe it happened for real.... again.

  • Bahremon have you ever been to the moon?Of course not so how are going to say its made up of synthetic material give me proof then ill believe i cant even believe that we been to the moon has any other country been?

  • if you read the official masa reports on the composition of the moon rocks brought back youll see such materials as bronze titanium uranium 237 and so on

  • My problem is were not the only advanced country here how come no other country has even bothered trying to make a lunar landing we supposely did in the sixties ok well technology advanced alot since then why dont we go back and do alot more research?

  • America is not able to do this. All of "their" space technology is in fact GERMAN technology. Wernher von Braun and his team of German scientists built all the rockets, including moon rocket Saturn V and moon lander Eagle for them. Yes and even the Space Shuttle. Since von Braun died and his German colleagues also (born around 1910, you know), NASA is helpless. American technicians are simply not good enough.

  • Hehe, so German successes in technology means Americans can't have any?

  • no of course not. This wasn't meant Anti-American by me. I just wanted to give Wernher von Braun and his men their due credit. The rest was meant to be a bit as a joke^^

  • Wernher von Braun, man, he really had something with his other ideas, if only the vietnam war hadnt gotten in the way, i might be living there now! (ssto moon shot concept, VB space station/habitat, etc)

  • Rather than moan about not knowing what the missiles are for, why don't people just read the article in the description? I saw a story about this on the news and it seems to be a pretty good way of gaining more information about the moon at a relatively low cost.

    They were also talking about using them to investigate moons of other planets, mainly Saturn and Jupiter.

    It's not a weapon. It's not supposed, just bury itself.

  • It's not supposed to blow up, even.

  • the moon missiles are just another plot by the governments of the world to hide the fact that it is actually an alien spaceship. They want you to think they're going to bury these missiles in its surface containing all these instruments to analyze it. In reality if you wanted to fire a missile that size at the moon it wouldn't even make it a few feet in. It's outer surface is composed of synthetic materials able to withstand tremendous impact. Mind you I did say "synthetic".

  • .....Lol

  • ive been on the moon many times

    in my dreams hahahahahahaha

  • I think the point of this is just to get different data gathering instruments a little ways past the surface of the moon. Apparently they have recently found that the moon had far more seismic activity than was suspected in the past. I think that these probes are meant to gain more information relating to that. Nasa actually tried to do something similar to this like 10 years back, but apparently never got any response from the probes (probably decepticons).

  • yes and before that when the astronauts attempted to drill into the moon they got nowhere. It's outer hull is composed of nothing but three miles deep of incredibly strong and heat resistant materials. Whenever they do have another "official" manned moon landing they're gonna find these missiles just lying on the surface absolutely obliterated from the force of their own impact against a surface that just wont give.

  • wow, you're so dumb.

  • and youre even dumber

  • bunker busters

  • haha der der der der

  • We don't need superman anymore!

  • i think someone fucked up

  • Maybe its not whether we can or not, its whether we should.

    I'm sure theres a good reason to hit the moon with missiles going 1100 kmph. That being said, what effects would moving the moon even slightly have on the tides?

  • as long as the moon doesnt crack up into small pieces like another planet near to earth did, then none i guess. just a stupid waste of money because theyll all crash land of course.

  • an you are even dumber

  • the moon moves "slightly" further away from us each year...have you noticed any changes in the tides? aka a negligible change throughout your pointless life.

  • I'd like for you to take notice that every conventional theory for how the moon came into being around our planet has been utterly disproven. As for it moving further and further away I don't see how that disproves anything I say. Oh and I love how you felt it neccessary to try to put me down because of my thoughts and ideas on the matter. It truly shows just how evolved you are doesn't it?

  • that wasnt exactly what i was expecting with that, so is tht rocket supposed to explode or what??? =O

  • yes, wtf!! why post a vid nobody knows what it's about ? and what is a moon missiles?

  • Why do we need a rocket that can blow its way through the moon?

  • I think this person.. ask a pretty good question...

    How does this technology benefit us..?

  • Not everything is about benefits.

  • @emuman4evr oh not a lot really only SAVING THE PLANET EARTH

  • wtf?
