its micrometers thats nothing. the axis, day length and magnetic north have been changing constantly all the time for millennia.

I suppose you think all the bombs we dropped in Iraq affected the axis and tides too.
seriously it already happened. It wasn't that big it made a 60 foot crater 10 feet deep. The moon is pretty big

It is more the fact that an object shot at a celestial object such as the moon and they have what as a guideline as to how much is enough or what is just enough.
I ask you a question HOW MUCH OF AN IMBALANCE IS NEEDED TO OFFSET A GYROSCOPE!
So tell me where did they get the brilliance to think that sending objects to impact the moon was a good idea. From what I know it would not take much of a meteor strike on earth to cause bad things to happen.
Lets take the earth closer to the sun were crispyo farther were an icecube. What is the margin for error when shooting objects meant to impact with the moon maybe they need to use a bigger object next time, shoot did not have the desired effect so lets add a little charge and see if we can get just a bit deeper because you know we really need to have a drink of moon water.
So what if , just what if they happen to hit a home run and strike a nerve as it were with the mooon and cause a fracture point. Ok here is the best metaphor I can come up with for exemplifying what I am trying to say.
Get yourself a tournament quality dart go outside on the coldest day of the winter and chuck the dart at your picture window on your house(wanna roll those dice and hope you don't cause a massive fracture in your window by a tungsten tipped dart), so hey nothing happened heck lets chuck a few or have a game of it. Or take a pan and fill it with water and freeze it, then take an nail place it on the block of ice and hit the nail with a 10 lb sledge.
Maybe just maybe there is a delicate balance at work in the way the planets are orbiting each other yes no? Maybe just maybe that layer of frozen water will act similar to a shear on a glacier and cause a massive crack just like the squirrel on ice age who is obsessed with that dang nut
There is a far cry difference between shooting rockets at other planet and dropping bombs here, though I dont avocate the dropping of bombs as a good thing.
All I am saying is the scientific community that represents nasa is messing with things they ought not to be.
from what I understand, surface bombings cannot change the rotation on the axis.
for this to happen, serious mass has to shift around within the earth or on the surface, just like when skater speeds up by moving their arms to their center.
so it has to be a big event to do this. a bomb probably would not move enough mass around for this to happen, but then I am no geophysicist, so I don't know..

Well who is to say they wont shoot something far enough into the moon and do fracture something and it does cause a big enough mass shift. You never know, people are dumb enough to do it. That freaked me out when I heard they shot something at the moon, what freaked me out even more is that they were not 100% positive it would hit where they wanted it to and the consequences they came up with if it missed and hit somewhere else were not good - yet they shot the pos at the moon anyways. The moon is not something play with. The moon DOES have a lot of affects to the earth. That is not something I would want to be messing with. I dont know who in their right mind would ever think shooting stuff at the moon is ok, esp. when you dont know what you are shooting at and how accurate you are going to be and the consequences if you do screw up. I really don't need moon water, earth water is fine for me. If you want to screw around with something do it with something that won't have the potential of screwing the entire planet over.
so mgk without going into an indepth astronomy discussion, or physics or geology for that matter, I looked to find a site that would very clearly and in a concise way show the graphic ramifications of a change in the earth axis. Whilst there are those that may say only minute changes have been made I again bring up a gyroscope and ask how does minute change affect or effect it and how do those changes affect or effect the other gyroscopes around it.

and thank you ash for understanding the essence of what I was trying to get at
but can we really do anything about it? In the words of alfred e neuman "WHAT ME WORRY?"
I think we should all just make a bacon sandwich and sit down and watch our fish tanks for a bit muahahahhahahahah. For if we have an axis flip I at least want to have a full tummy.ahahahahhahahah

Any MFKer who comes to my restaurant I will buy lunch!!!!! May as welll have a full stomach when it happens !!!!!

the moon and the earth are hit by meteors all the time, the atmosphere reduce most on that hit the earth. The moon isn't so lucky because there's no atmosphere(well very little), anyway all those craters you see on the moon are made from meteors. MUCH bigger impacts then what we did.chefjamesscott;3944061; said:It is more the fact that an object shot at a celestial object such as the moon and they have what as a guideline as to how much is enough or what is just enough.

comparing a top to the rotation of the earth and the moon makes no sense anyway you look at it. it's not held up on a solid surface and pulled down on that surface the gravity of something so much more massive its ridiculous(thats not to say the its anywhere near the size of the earth but its much closer then a top/gyroscope).
The moon is mostly made of rock just like the planet earth. It wont crack from a small explosion. Its actually probably more stable since the core is cooled down in the moon.
To understand the dangers you have to understand the scale at which things take place. Some that has a pebble fall on there head won't be hurt, some one that gets hit by a boulder will.
perhaps there may have been a problem if we hit it with a "tsar bomba"(now that bomb scares the crap out of me), but it was just a missile.
don't get too attached to the moon anyway, it's moving away from the earth at 2 inches per year naturally.
