Was our moon attack a weapons test?

I can think of a few people to slam a massive weight on at about a mile a second.

nope. they were hoping to dislodge ice below the lunar surface. that is if there is ice to dislodge. lol. very interesting stuff i think. they said plumes of lunar soil could shoot as high as 6.4 miles into the lunar atmosphere from the impact.

Judging by the lack of detritus flume, if it was a weapons test, it was a dismal failure. Any decent weapons test could not be conduct er here, we have a test ban treaty if Bush did not abrogate that too. So if it was a test it failed.

News headlines --
"Obama Declares War on the Moon."
"Moon Complains to UN over Unprovoked Attack."
"Americans Accuse the Moon of Hiding Weapons of Mass Destruction."

Yes, an attack for water, Comet juice, what have you. Its' at least 90% of your body mass and may be a determining factor, should we get off of our greedy asses and look to the stars for a moment, of evacuating a dying planet in the event of some cataclysmic apocalypse, which, let's face it, we are overdue for through fault of our own making if nothing else, history channel not withstanding.

It could have been,but it was suppossed to be an experiment to detect the presence of ice or water beneath the surface.
If ice was found,the the possibility of not having to transport water or tanks of hydrogen and oxygen to make water to the moon would not be necessary.

No, it was to find icewater or whatever, if it was a weapons test there would have been a warhead involved. it was just a satellite that was steered into the moon

it was a geological experiment, like hundreds of others we've carried out all over the solar system.

why is this even a political issue? these experiments are planned years and sometimes decades in advance.

...yeah, the IDIOTS bombed the Moon in what "they" hoped was an attempt to find water ! (...what IDIOTS !) "they" want water...? I've heard that the Moon is "pissed" and is going to retaliate with super high tides... soon these IDIOTS will have all the water they think they can handle !
