Holy shit, you actually saw this as it was happening?
Oh fuck, I just read Earthlight by Arthur Clarke, uncanny
That's fucking cool.
SPACE is AWESOME
Looks like if we ever want a moonbase, we should consider building it underground.
The narrator sounds sarcastic as fuck at the beginning of that video.
wow that video makes this awesome thing seem so boring
seriously this fucking narrator
instead of HOLY FUCK MOON EXPLOSION BOOM GANG BOOM BRIGHT FLASH BRRRWHHHHWWHHH
what should be going through our minds when watching the video i just got the urge to close the video
Either it was aliens or the US finally decided to nuke the moon

For some reason I'd now like to use Microsoft Anna to read the kinky bits of a horribly shitty pornographic novella (not scat u sick fucks)
the chances of anything coming from the Moon are a million to one
Wasn't there like an incident in the 17th century where people wrote down that one night they saw a huge explosion on the moon and saw fragments or something?

I wish I saw it :(
The size of a small boulder?
Is a boulder a unit of measurement? Whats the requirement for boulder size. I didnt know there was a standardized size for falling rocks.

A small boulder is roughly 1/10th the volume of a shit-ton.
Damn, I wonder how fast it was going if it was just the size of a small boulder.

It's simply a guess, but I'm gonna say that it weighed in at 40 kilos and an impact velocity of 56000 miles per hour. That's equivalent to about 5 tons of TNT.

Larger than a good sized rock and yet smaller than a large boulder of course.

What's the math for conversions? I need to know how much it is in metric fuck-loads.
Is this the alien version of chucking rocks at cars?
I was expecting something resembling September 13 1999.

Yeah that's really fucking descriptive

A reptilian ship crashed
can someone tell me the time the explosion happens?
Reminds me of the movie where a big meteor hits the Moon, modifying it's orbit, causing the Moon to eventually crash into the Earth.
