I would take that with a MAJOR pich of salt. The "facts" put forward are at best sketchy and in the case of scaring the moon, rather far fetche (though that mey be in keeping with the article).

The link comes from a Slashdot article ( http://slashdot.org/articles/00/05/15/1238219.shtml ). Slashdot's radio show "Geeks in Space" also featured the story in an episode (see http://www.thesync.com/geeks/archives.html ).

I'd be more willing to believe the story than not.

Apparently it was planned, but then they realised that there would be no mushroom cloud as there is no atmosphere on the moon to form one.
