Who is Crazy Enough to Shoot the Moon?

Today I am saddened and sickened by a news story on CNN presented as a tongue in cheek look at an event that will take place tomorrow morning. Out of nowhere it was announced that NASA will be sending a rocket to blast into the southern hemisphere of our beloved moon... not once, but twice. It's bad enough that our planet is under constant threat of someone trying to blow up stuff, we call them terrorists or combatants depending on whose side your on. It is a way of scoring points in wars that will never be won. People even take their children to view violent action films where the excitement comes from things crashing and blowing up, as they eat their popcorn and never think of the real life consequences of these senseless acts of aggression. But to those of us who revere the Moon, as the feminine light in the darkness, and whose face has always represented the loving shine of a Mother's face who inspires poets, dreamers, and children... this is a terrible tragedy. Supposedly the mad scientists are looking for water under the surface, but I think there is something more sinister going on here. Japan crashed an orbiter into the surface in June and just look at the havoc going on now... earthquakes, tsunamis, and oh yes a typhoon in Japan. China and India will also be getting in on the action in the near future with similar moon trips. Hmm, superpowers blowing up the moon in a show of "intellectual" superiority with the raw grit of a show off bully. We have plenty of water here on Earth even though we are doing our damndest to pollute it. Wouldn't the money spent on blasting the surface of the moon be better spent on water purification for impoverished nations? Or will the next designer fad for the rich and bored include designer bottled moon water, as the new cash cow for the over-privileged. Sorry, but I see NASA as a techno-terrorist group who is invading the symbol of our hopes and dreams. There is no need to blast a hole into the surface of the moon to check for water... would these same men shoot their mother in the mouth to check for a cavity. I just wonder.
