138: Bombing The Moon (Don't look over here!)
NASA LCROSS Moon Bombing and International Space Law
NASA's LCROSS mission, which involved crashing a kinetic weapon into the moon to search for water, is criticized as a "moon bombing." The hosts discuss the lack of visible results from the impact and suggest the mission may violate the 1967 United Nations Outer Space Treaty. They link the timing of this event to the Nobel Peace Prize announcement as part of a dual-distraction strategy.
