Moon blasted from Earth orbit

“Today the moon was blasted out of Earth’s orbit, apparently due to a mammoth explosion on the Lunar surface. While nothing has been confirmed at this time, speculation within the scientific community suggests this catastrophe may stem from recent troubles with Nuclear Waste Disposal Area 2, a lunar atomic waste dump maintained by Moonbase Alpha. The disposal area has recently been plagued by instability and numerous Green Peace protests.” Remember Space 1999? For a generation of us, it was the ultimate high-camp — and SO far into the future. But time has a way of moving on. I chose to run this wonderful link as a way of honoring all those wonderfully bad programs that were an inspiration to today’s generation of engineers. — DG
