Must not have been in a state of war with the "man in the moon"?

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I saw that - chuckles. Though I think the problem would be worse than just tides, right? See the documentary: Despicable Me

I was thinking the same thing.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Sure would have taken a whole sheetload of nukes to even make a crater you could see from earth.

Not to mention, impossible.

They should have contracted the job out to Marvin the Martian and his illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator.

Also, the way that our rockets were constantly blowing up on the launch pads back then, it might have made a good sized crater in Florida.

Yeah, the idea that it would have "blown up the moon" is pretty ridiculous. I imagine the idea was to detonate it where it could be seen, but wouldn't directly hurt people. We detonated them on Earth regularly and I think Earth is still here. Sounds like the journalist blew it when they came up with that title.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Yeah, we were testing everything back then above ground in the western deserts and on Pacific atolls. I kind of doubt that the Soviets were totally in the dark about us having and testing nukes. How much of a flash would even 5 megatons make from a quarter million miles away?

I'd liked to have been a fly on the wall when some Pentagon boob ran this one by Ike.
