"We're spending millions of dollars to blow up the moon... when there's so much right here on earth to blow up, Mount Everest, the North Pole, etc... we're earthlings, let's blow up earth things."

We have all this excess money lying around and they thought, hey, lets waste $79 million to shoot a rocket at the moon... we can turn the moon into a big jail... Al Qaeda thinks Guantanamo Bay is tough! Wait till they see the moon with limited oxygen... it'll make water boarding look like water boarding.
We can move our trash up there too...a giant landfill in the Sea of Tranquility... hey, no bad smells and no flies!
Also, they are bringing down the value... first they take it out of it's special "moon packaging" and now they are hitting it with a rocket? ...no other species is going to pay anything like the value of what the moon was worth in a pre 10/9 world.
