awww... the sites down...

anyways... wonder why they would do this... to examin under the moons exterior... or something.

Site is still down.

Are you referring to the planned probe, that will impact the moon at extreme velocity to enable another orbiting probe, to analyse the debris cloud for H2O and other potentially useful compounds and minerals buried beneath the moons surface?

Could be that.

Or maybe someone mentioned that Osama Bin Laden is hiding in there?

The only victims of a war against Luna are the Lunatics. Maybe we should fire a UN delegation up there to negotiate a peace treaty while there still is time.

Can't invade the moon until we find out whether there is any oil there.

I'm qualified to be one of the first citizens. On behalf of Lunatics I say we don't want a peace treaty. Every society of Lunatics knows that war is good for the economy and brings prosperity through weapons sales and military bases. Just ask any American.

As long as you plan to stick around for the next 10 years rebuilding infrastructure (with your money, not ours) and providing security to the region, we welcome the invasion.

There is nothing there but rocks. That never stopped anyone from invading Afghanistan, which is nothing but rocks. However, Lunatic rocks are worth millions according to this article.

VALLETTA, Malta (AP) -- A tiny moon rock believed to be worth about $5 million was stolen from a museum in Malta, 30 years after President Richard Nixon donated it to the Mediterranean island nation.

Actually there is about 1.6 billion barrels of oil in AF.

But we are not in AF for the oil, we are in AF for the pipeline.
