Let’s be real about journalists... most of them are just failed students who couldn't get into their actual dream program, so they settled for journalism after bombing the entrance exams. Or worse, they barely finished high school, kind of like that idiot Kuljiš. I’ve noticed that when American journalists try to tackle science topics, they write absolute nonsense, but this piece I stumbled upon a few days ago? It takes the cake...🤣🙄Basically, the author claims the Soviets intended to blow the moon into tiny little pieces. To clarify, the supposed plan was to launch an atomic bomb via rocket toward the moon, but they allegedly got cold feet about a potential atmospheric accident and backed off. In the madness of the Cold War, sure, the idea isn't totally impossible, but is it really possible for a journalist to be so incredibly dense that they actually believed a single nuclear explosion could destroy the moon?🤷😲
