Communists on the moon !

Blow it out of the sky? No, rig one side with explosives and see if we can boost it into space at Mars, or didn’t you notice it was red also? Two birds with one stone is what I say. Then we can go to Europa and eat the fish like inhabitants under the ice instead of fishing our oceans out. Let’s change the subject back to the original thread and say every one is right and call it a day.

It is amazing how fast things can get out of hand when you bring in politics and war and greatly different view points. Wow. Did all of that get started from a single little joke about Haliburton taking over moon resources?

I think we need a space elevator. Then we can really get rolling with the space exploration.

Blow up the moon!

Then we have massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and no major oceanic tides! Disaster!
And do you know how much force it would take to blow the moon into Mars! OUCH.

Besides... the Chinese are only planning unmanned probes... Some reports say the US is talking about a permanent presence, possibly at least partially military in nature.

Communist probes v manned military base. I think Capitalism wins again!

Has to be a negative one in every group.

What are you talking about man? All we need to do is store our radioactive waste on the dark side of the moon, and the ensuing accidental explosion will surely catipult the thing not only to mars, but to the other side of the galaxy! Just think about the whacky adventures that the commander of Luna-one, our first moon base, will have!

and that was all over FOUR YEARS AGO!

...says the one who started it - and doesn't want to stop it now?

I took his post as being comical in nature in reference to my not wanting to go along with the suggestion of destroying the moon and Mars.

Thus the nice at the end.

Ah ok, might be I misunderstood, sorry then - I thought he was again attacking me after I already said I wanted to stop this.
