I caught a few minutes while changing channels - "we need to
remagnetise the moon!" or some such nonsense - and then a bit later -
"we can destroy the moon with nuclear weapons" - ok, then you replace
one big lump with billions of smaller lumps. Nearly as good science as
The Core.


Am I correct in thinking the Moon does not have a magnetic field?
Something to do with little iron present due to the way it was formed?

IIRC that is the case.

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
