It’s been so long since NASA has gone to the moon, I wonder if they even remember where it is.

I'm with Tanyamm... do they really need to blow a 6 mile high cloud of dust up, just to check for water?

Naaah, I think they're bombing alien bases.

The aim is to see whether any traces of water will be revealed by the 
  disruption caused to the planet's surface. Nasa will analyse the space cloud 
  caused by the explosion for any sign of water or vapour.
