Scientists Witness Meteor Strike on the Moon
Lonesome Squash writes "BBC reports that scientists have seen a smallish meteor strike on the moon. Impact only equivalent to 70kg of TNT, but still, you wouldn't want to have it land on your moonbase. At that size, it's kind of neat they saw it at all."
That's more yield than the WMDs they "found" at Saddam's.
They take the same damn story twice, but they can't accept my original one! WTF!
Hey, it took them 9 days. I think they are getting better. Much better than that dupe of a story still on the front page. Plus this was right before christmas, editors probably werent paying full attention.

Pretty memorable story though. Some of the dupes could almost be new stories, the same thing happens so often, but this is the only moon-explosion dupe I've seen here on /.
Just be glad we dont have any "Thats no moon..." comment dupes.

I hope no one was standing there.
On the moon, Slashdot nerds get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with moon rocks!
Most linux users don't know this, but the man pages were named after Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris fsck'ing hates noobs!
It's still early.

Slashdot duplicates are:
o All too frequent
o Usually not worth reading once, much less twice.
o Proof that Slashdot editors don't read Slashdot
o Less annoying than dozens of wankers posting duplicate "Dupe!" posts
o All too frequent
Whats with the mod abuse of all our replies being labeled offtopic? I wasnt the one who said dupe, I just responded to the guy who did. Guess I can watch my karma burn.
