I think the most impressive part is that it would only leave a crater of 1km in diameter. There are so many bigger craters caused by asteroids and its just humbling to know how little we as humans are in the universe

[@GraniteStateVictoria]

It kind of had the opposite effect on me, I thought it'd just kick up a little dust and only affect a very tiny part of the moon, since I'm used to thinking of humans being so small to the point of having no power to affect anything beyond a human scale, but seeing all that would happen was actually a reminder of how scary nuclear weapons really are.

@@alveolate My science teacher once caught our school on fire demonstrating an experiment of all the stored energy in sugar. Half a soup can of sugar, 2 drops of sulfuric acid, and a scoop of a catalyst he wouldn't name, created a 5 minute long 10-foot high rocket engine. All because he didn't want to do the experiment outside and risk distracting other classes. The following day he avoided burning the ceiling but a hall monitor saw the fire and pulled the alarm in panic.
