Spending money to blow up a rock?

So, they blew a hole in the moon at God knows how much expense and found 25 gallons of water. Whoopee!

Does anybody in even their most remote dreams care about some big dumb rock circling our planet and what’s on it? They already know, anyway. Rocks and dust. Wow!

Yes, I know, curiosity is nice, and cute, and all that. Big deal.

(At least the Hubble space telescope is exciting.)

And if there is life on other planets, let them spend the dough to find us for a change. We’re broke.
