1. I'm guessing someone started a thread with a link to the story.

Others commented?

4. Here's the original thread.

Wherein an astrologer likens the mission to rape. Because the moon is female and NASA did not ask for her permission.

9. Oh.My.God That article in a mainstream newspaper? And...

that thread is almost as good as the big one.

(As well it should be, with some of same posters in it.)

5. All I know is that I'm about to hide all threads with "moon" in

the subject line.

8. It was George Méliès fault.

13. A Native American neo-Pagan poster posted nonsense about the moon being knocked out of it's orbit.

And it all went downhill from there. The poster was made fun of and that caused a very predictable set of New Age posters to show up in response spewing damnation and comparing crashing something into the moon with sadistic torturing of animals.
