[i]Apparently, Dr Strangelove didn't think big enough. Stanley Kubrick's famous film featured a Russian failsafe intended to blow up the Earth in the event of nuclear war - but now we learn that US scientists really were plotting to nuke the Moon. After falling behind in the Space Race, America explored the possibility of a lunar missile strike that would create enough of a flash and bang to terrify the Communists. This seems a bit of a half-measure. If you're going to deface the lunar surface, why not go the whole hubristic hog, by blasting out an image of the Stars and Stripes, or the president's face, to dangle in the sky for eternity?[/i]
