Fascinating. I never knew the Mr. Show segment “Let’s Blow Up the Moon”[1] had any basis in fact. [1] [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Sure this makes complete sense and everyone I know is all for it, but shouldn't we be concentrating on blowing up the moon first? [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗"Tonight we can, will and must blow up the moon." "Earth First: We're earthlings, we should blow up earth things. No to blowing up the moon!" [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Hell yeah! It would be very cool if we are able to properly colonize the moon in my lifetime. Even if we don't have humans living there like in Futurama (as cool as that would be), it would be unbelievably cool if we have constant back-and-forth trips to the moon. Or we could just blow it up, which might be fun in its own right: [VIDEO]
