Yup... we definitely need more crap floating around in space. WTF.
Anyway, NASA is getting ready for a new kind of mission to the moon. One in which they trigger a 6-mile-high explosion over the surface of the moon in hopes of confirming the presence of water.
It is a $79 million mission. If they find water, it would be a potential source of hydrogen for rocket fuel and oxygen for life support. And more space junk to boot. Seriously. Isn't there enough shit floating around up there... enough of OUR shit?! Ugh.
Anyway, to read all about this explosive mission, check it out here.
