Called the Penetrator, scientists hope to fire four of these space-faring projectiles into the Moon from spacecraft in close orbit to the lunar surface. Once deployed, they are designed to bury themselves deep into the Moon’s crust.

These projectiles aren’t loaded with explosives, instead they are packed full of scientific equipment. The thought is that by burying these probes deep under the Moon’s surface, scientists will be able to uncover hereto unknown secrets about the Moon’s composition. More

Someone has way too much time in their hands. Who would fund this ridiculous study?

As if they didn’t already have enough problems on their hands fat people are now being blamed for global warming. British scientists say they [fat people] use up more fuel to transport them around and the amount of food they eat requires more energy to produce than that consumed by those on smaller diets. Researchers Phil Edwards said: “We are all becoming heavier and it is a global responsibility. Obesity is a key part of the big picture.”

Mr Edwards and his colleague Ian Roberts argue that because thinner people eat less and are more likely to walk than rely on cars, a slimmer population would lower demand for fuel and food. In their model, the researchers estimate 40 percent of the global population is obese, with a body mass index of 30 or over. Read more
