Could a rogue country nuke the moon?

[zebedeehadapoint]

I'm assuming the earth relies on the moon for the sea movement etc so its existence is essential (I could be wrong) so could a country hold the world to ransom and blow it up? Can warhead travel that far?

And yes, I've got insomnia at the moment

And learn keyboards.

If he learned keyboards, I’m sure things could only get better for him.

Ba da CHING

😂

As an aside, before I go, I think Marvin Gaye has given us all the best insight. He told us the world is just a great big onion. Given the moon is made of cheese, in about 5 billion years, as the sun dies and expands, it will become the largest sandwich toaster you have ever seen. Alien species across the universe will look up into the sky and marvel. “Ooh, they will say” as we turn into a giant cheese and onion toastie (with bits of ham). “It looks so pretty”.

@Kovus - I've often wondered about our onion status as a planet, and how it would impact the cheese moon. I also wonder if Mars is a giant tomato? Would that just add another layer of flavour?

Mars is the red planet and tomatoes are red, so I think you are probably right @LochKatrine . My only concern about mixing all those ingredients together in a galactic size toaster, is the after affect on Uranus.

Stop talking food I'm starving here 😂

I think we'd need to probe Uranus.
I know there are rings around Uranus.

I think they should remake Space 1999, obviously it would need to be a different year.

the Moon consists of a combination of different cheeses, but if nuked all that would remain is de-brie.

😂😂😂😂😂

I will. They can come and live with me.

Are you Terry Pratchett reincarnated? I think we need another book from you, if that's okay.

@MrsTerryPratchett - what is your opinion on @Kovus? Recognise spouse-y traits there?

Yeah well, the other Brian Cox is still in a mental facility after being found in Thailand claiming chickens are radiating disorder out into the universe. Thank God Philomena Cunk spotted the signs and took compassionate action.

The answer is yes but why would anyone want to

It’s green cheese, you heathen. What do they teach them in schools these days.
Green cheese is soft and immature.

I want whatever @Kovus is taking. 😂

Yep..

The “bangy” bit of many nuclear weapons systems weighs in at well under a tonne.

Spacecraft weighing more than that have been going to the Moon since the sixties.

Quite why you’d want to do it is another matter.

I'm thinking English Breakfast Tea with a Muffin. Extra Cheese.

OP is going to come back and think we gone all loopy 😆

As if that were a bad thing.

They will probably attack it in its new moon phase as it’s just a narrow sliver so won’t require much bomb.
There will also be less fall-out cheese so a better outcome for us.

“Green cheese is soft and immature”
Coincidentally, also a description of the nuclear scientists involved in moon destruction.
