What are your opinions on this? Personally, I'm going to hope against hope that everything goes wrong. For me the Moon represents the Goddess, and the idea of crashing on it angers me greatly.
"
Let us assume that ignorance will rule the day and plans go forward. What can we as surrealists or lunatics or astrologers or naturalists or anarcho-primitivists or Greens or werewolves or pagans or psychics or UFO groupies or other concerned members of the general public do? We must soothe the Moon, we bandage her. We implore other celestial bodies and entities to aid her. We will not let her endure this crime or its grim aftermath alone.
We need to communicate to the Moon. Talk to her in our dreams, trances, or meditations, and prepare her for this shock and wound as best we can. Hold her, send out imaginative protection to her, and put our dream bodies out there in front of the bomb. Collectively, we can sabotage the bombing or by imagining all manner of things going wrong, or encouraging the Moon to increase her own magnetic shields. Sing to her. Give her back just a tiny portion of all that she has done for us. We are all created from Moon dust.
We pledge solidarity with the Moon and promise we will do everything that we can to help heal her and to prevent any further such stupid, short-sighted, self-serving, man-made acts of obscene violence against her."

Those idiots!! They better not ruin the moon! That is very immature and the most stupidest thing ever!! We need the moon! We need her!! I hope this is a joke like the 2012 propaganda! Okey day, I'll pray that the mission will fail! Protect the Moon!!
I'm all for science and for figuring out if theres aqua on the moon.
But Really, did this idea come out of a young boys 'explosive' imagination?
Isn't there a much cheaper way to find water on the moon? Or better yet, a non-moon/ocean threatening way?

NASA isn't going to do any harm to the Goddess.
The physical moon isn't the Goddess (or the God in some cultures) it's a hunk of airless rock which happens to be used as a symbol of the God or Goddess in various cultures.
Striking the moon with one small rocket isn't apt to do very much serious damage at all to the surface of the moon. Because the moon has no atmosphere it is bombarded by space debris all the time, and many of those pieces of asteroids, comets, and space rock that hit the moon are far larger than this tiny rocket that NASA is sending. That's why the moon has all of those huge craters we can see from Earth without a telescope. NASA's rocket will scarcely make a dent in the surface of the moon as compared to the other things that have struck it over the millions of years that it's been out there.
What this NASA project will do is give us information as to whether there is water on the moon at all and that is important in determining whether we can eventually put a base on the moon which would be the first stepping stone to take mankind to the stars.
I empathize with your desire to prevent harm, but I believe you're getting wound up over an issue that isn't going to cause harm in the first place. Much better to save that energy you want to use and expend it here on this planet on more important human issues.
The moon represents your goddess, but unless you worship a giant rock the moon itself is not your goddess. Just something I think some people should keep in mind. I'm not exactly thrilled by this decision either. It seems to me like it would be more efficient to simply drill since the explosion could, ironically, blow the water their searching for off the moon as well. I understand if you see the moon as sacred that this could be viewed as blasphemy or a desecration, so to be specific on what we could hope goes wrong I suggest we all hope that the explosive misses the moon entirely. Just hoping it goes wrong could simply result in the bomb not going off and then they could fix that and still blow off a chunk of the moon.
I meant to say what Lark said, but forgot to, and when rereading previous posts I noticed her's and so now see it as pointless to type out a second time. Suffice to say I agree with her.
Thanks Lark and Ragnorok. I thought that they really did want to ruin the moon. And I know the moon is the symbol of the Goddess, I was just afraid if they would destroy her symbol. But thanks for the info, now I don't have to panic.
