NASA to bomb moon

I guess the government has finally run out of things on this planet to bomb, so now NASA plans to bomb the moon!

NASA is planning to launch a space mission carrying a missile to blast a gaping hole in the moon's surface. This will produce a 6-mile-high cloud visible from Earth.

The reason? They actually think there's water inside. Sure, and probably green cheese too.

What? You mean they're not going to do any etching of corporate logos?

During the Cold War, the U.S. government planned to blow up the moon with a nuclear bomb - to show the Reds who was boss. The latest plan ranks right up there with that in its sheer absurdity.
