Bob supports dropping wheat from the moon with the force of hundreds of nuclear bombs

What is this, random mumblings from Bob mid-sugar coma uploaded by a loved one?

Oh wait, that would require Bob to have loved ones. Whoops.

I think he's referencing Brianna Wu's recent batshit tweets about dropping rocks from the moon being a viable strategy and that he thinks people are apparently taking it out of context.

Just read up on that thread after posting here; I knew MovieBlob was dumb but wow. At least he's smart enough not to directly link... not that it will help him any.

What context was there beyond "Brianna Wu is horribly unfit for working in government?"

Immediately after I read this, I was reminded of the fact that this guy thinks he's smarter than most of the US population.

Thanks to the cerebral machinations of the Moviebob, we have discovered how to deliver wheat from the surface of the moon to our planet, Earth. Now, we only look for a savior who we divine the means by which we shall transport normal Earth wheat from the boundaries of our gravitational pull to our lunar body, and by which we can grow the wheat.

 

[TonyTopps]

The idea that you could launch something from the moon to the Earth and cause significant damage because of the objects inertia is true. It wouldn't even have to be that large just like a bullet that is thrown doesn't do any damage but one fired from a gun can. But Batman Wu said dropped and didn't provide any reason why a corporation would "nuke" the Earth from the Moon's orbit other than the implied corporations are evil. Literally the ramblings of a madman but of course Bob has got to signal so he will come to the defense.

 

[Mola Ram]

White knighting on the sly for Brianna Wu, is he? Well I guess them Bahston retaaahds gotta stick togethuh.

Damn @Alberto Balsalm, beat me to it.

The object would have to move at relativistic speeds to actually do any kind of cataclysmic damage.

Yeah but if a penny dropped from the top of the Empire State Building could kill somebody, imagine what a kernel of wheat could do if you launch it from the moon. Those things are hard, man!

 

[cypocryphy]

Of course, if Trump tweeted about dropping something from the Moon, Bob would be all over it about what an idiot he is.

 

[Positron]

He is an idiot (as if we don't know already). The word "drop" is bad terminology not because 3-D space is a "mindfuck"; it is because, to eject something from the Moon, you have to first accelerate it beyond the Moon's escape velocity -- hardly an action evoked by the word "drop".

The object would have to move at relativistic speeds to actually do any kind of cataclysmic damage.

The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs is estimated to be moving at 40 times the speed of sound, which is less than 0.005% speed of light.

This is from the book Global Catastrophic Risks (an eye-opening book that I urge everyone to read), p225.

One would expect a "moonrock", unless accelerated by huge amount of energy, to be much less speedy.

 

[Furina]

She would have sounded considerably less like a 12 year old writing their first sci-fi story if she had said a corporation building a rail gun on the moon which fired depleted uranium or tungsten blocks at the planet was a bad idea. But she didn't. She said "Dropping rocks from the moon" and somehow suggested that SpaceX would be interested in doing that.

A viable strategy for what exactly? The conclusion of history?
