Yes we intend to shoot missiles at the moon. Don't worry; there are no explosive war heads. This amzing piece of technology contains an instrument package that penetrates the regolith and takes measurements.

 

Well done British scientists. The results have been so successful that NASA is interested in the UK technology for not just the moon, but other planets too.

That was the nuclear waste stored on the moon that blew up Magic, and propelled the moon to a fantastical adventure, involving sexy alien women with weird powers.
 
This boy has no warhead, just instruments.
