Really causes my neural cells to depolarize by opening gated channels in the membrane and passively diffusing potassium ions out of the cytoplasm down its concentration gradient leading to a sequence of action potentials to stimulate in accord with long term potentiation pathways developed through the release of seratonin at key moments of sensory input.

Converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy is, indeed, very similar to conversion of relativistic mass in to electromagnetic energy. You can even measure kinetic energy in megatons.

Brianna Wu (the OP's tweet) is running for congress. She can't even form complete sentences, so I guess that means she's going to win.

I doubt she's entirely wrong. There's some logistical issues with what she's saying, but is it not theoretically possible?

That said, I wouldn't want her in office. She sounds a looney.

There's a pretty good book about this. The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein.

Wage slaves on moon rebel against Earth and create their own libertarian republic. They force Earth to accept their independence by blowing up Earth cities with big metal containers filled with rock shot by a railgun on the moon surface.

If you want you may put forth some arguments in favor of your thesis to avoid looking like a complete retard (beware that you will still look like a partial one).

Assuming 100 one ton nuclear weapons we have that
4,184*10^11J=mv^2/2=m*50^2/2=1250m
m=4,184*10^11/1250 kg
~3,34*10^8kg
The mean density of the moon is 3344kg/m^3, so this is about 100.000m^3

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment

Theoretically it's possible, and a fun way past the Outer Space Treaty (which bans the use of nuclear weaponry, chemical weaponry, et cetera), so the idea has been considered by many nations, including the US. As to why someone would ask this on twitter rather than googling it? Not a fucking clue.

>>8710323
How can these people even read and write? Why do we consider them the same species? Someone asked me the other day if the Hubble was on the ISS, an elementary school teacher was unsure of the difference between the solar system and a galaxy just last week. I am just now realizing this stuff isn't common knowledge and I find it incredibly bothersome. I don't even have a degree and I BARELY graduated high school.

Don't laugh. Once actual work starts and human presence in space is no longer a pipe dream the interest groups will use arguments like that to shut it down and divert funding to meaningful things.

Let me know what part of my post suggested that unregulated capitalism is great

>>8710912

Taking the Tunguska event as an example, of you launched a big enough lump of gravel at the Earth it would spread out upon hitting the atmosphere and release its kinetic energy so fast that it would in effect be more powerful than a modern nuclear bomb.

Problem is, your lump of moon gravel has to be roughly 150 meters across and moving faster than the speed at which an object would be moving if it were to fall from the Moon's height above the Earth. Therefore to deliver the same amount of energy you either need a much larger rock or a much faster rock. Also it's hard to imagine a system that could somehow launch several hundred thousand cubic meters worth of rock from the Moon onto a Earth intercept at all, let alone accurately as would be required of a weapons system.

Basically put, until we can build hundred kilometer long rail-guns on the Moon, we can't weaponize Moon rocks.
