So, uh, here's a fun fact for you: both the USA and USSR had plans to, in effect, nuke the moon. Ostensibly, at least in the USA's case, it was for science, but for both, it was also to send a message, presumably about their ability to nuke things that didn't deserve it. Ultimately, neither would actually carry out their plans, because, let's face it, who the fuck nukes the moon?! Why?!
I leave you with this question: why the fuck does anyone think these two countries, countries that wanted to nuke the fucking moon, mind you, deserved any sort of power. Clearly, they couldn't be trusted. Sheesh.
(I mean, yeah, there's a plethora of reasons they can't be trusted with power, but we're just talking about nuking the moon right now. Stay on topic.)
