Walking On The ... BOOM!!
Nov. 29th, 2012 08:24 amBack in the politically-charged late 1950s, someone in the US Administration had a great idea...
"Let's blow up the moon so those darned Commies can't have it!!"
Apparently, even the young Carl Sagan was on board with the plan. However, cooler heads eventually prevailed ~ "The project would have been carried out in 1959, but was reportedly abandoned by military officials due to fears that it would endanger people on Earth should the mission fail.'
I wonder if someone in Hollywood heard about it & came up with an idea for a TV show...?
