Default ..New Space-Race to the Moon..History is (Tragically) Repeating Itself

Hey, hey! Calm down! Moon is TOO FAR to launch a missile. It is not
practical. Missiles or any weapons installed on the Moon is simply a
stupid idea.


Even a full-up Atlas V couldn't push New Horizons any faster than a 6 hour
trip to the moon. Since flight time for a nuclear bomb is at most on the
order of a half-hour, "Jonathan" just proves once again he's a kid with
access to his mommie's computer.
