"Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, suggested at a congressional hearing that climate change could be combatted by altering the orbit of the moon and asked a U.S. Forest Service official whether there was any way the agency could do it.": [nbcnews.com] How in the Name of Fuck do such dangerous imbeciles get elected to Congress?
WTF??????
Sure, smashing a 1000 tonne rocket body onto the moon would change its orbit, but the change would be so small as to be immeasurable.
@anglophone People actually VOTED for her??????
@pamagain Yes, they did. Idiots of a feather flock together.
@anglophone At the ballot boxes!
Wait, wait, wait... hold on a minute before we criticize Gohmert. Do we even know how much the moon weighs? If it doesn't way too much then we could probably move it by sending a few astronauts in to space to push it into a better orbit.
In America everything is possibe
Your observation is uncomfortably accurate. How else could an illiterate a$$hole become POTUS?
@anglophone In a land where wealth is fanatically coveted, cheating and corruption eventually becomes endemic.
