Stop Everything, They’re Bombing the Moon

CHAonthemoonSomebody’s bombing the moon, and nobody even thought to invite a supervillain.

Apparently, there’s some science going on. In an attempt to find out whether there’s water on the moon (because, you know, it’s real warm up there and astronauts get wicked parched), NASA is going to fire two specially designed spacecraft at the moon to create a massive cloud of, literally, moondust that they can then measure to find out how much water might be lying underneath.

It’ll be a while before the whole shebang bang bangs, because the mission doesn’t launch until October 26th, and even then, the ship needs to take a three month trip to reach, and NASA says this themselves, “proper moon-smashing position”. Plenty of time for a supervillain to overcome the snub and find some way to, for  a short time, endanger us all.
