Campaign Ammo Moon Rocks -

by the way if anyone is unaware, Wu's schizophrenic fears of space war hasn't been an issue since the 60s

Wouldn't rocks be considered 'conventional' weaponry?

lol who cares

Wouldn't rocks be considered 'conventional' weaponry?

That's basically how they justify the "Rods from God" thing. They don't have a payload or unnatural acceleration so they technically don't violate the treaty. Technically.

You don't have to go into it in depth. Getting stuff onto and off of the moon is really complicated and expensive; firing a big-ass nuke from one part of earth to another is comparatively easy and cheap.

Trouble is that that doesn't explain why going to and from the moon is so expensive and difficult. Unless you got someone reputable that people would understand are vastly smarter than Brianna Wu to state a fact without explanation, our testimony is no better than hers. From an uneducated layperson's perspective, dropping rocks off the moon does make sense. If you came along and told them that it simply doesn't work, they wouldn't be convinced.

Again,
"Brianna Wu is more concened about Elon Musk taking over the earth with moonrocks than she is with actual issues in District 8. She's an out of touch techie who believes she lives in a Sci-Fi movie. Don't throw your vote away with Space Cadet Wu, vote for Down To Earth Lynch".
Mock the sheer ridiculousness of it instead of trying to show why it's ridiculous.

Wu must've learned about dropping stuff from the Moon from the ending of A Trip to the Moon.

Someone good with Photoshop could mix Wu's face with this:

'Show pictures of the tweets.'

"Don't vote for lunacy. Vote Lynch."

I see what you did there....noice

Kinda opens up some pun material....Wunacy? Wunatic?

I'm trying to think of ways to explain why the moon rock thing is bullshit in a way that ordinary people can understand. Maybe just say such a thing would require rockets that don't currently exist?

It doesn't really need to be explained every time it's mentioned, although a two minute thing explaining why it is stupid might be worth it.

In general, the public is going to hear some crazy thing about the Moon and just think it's fucking ridiculous with no explanation needed. Look at Newt Gingrich and his Moon shit, even though his Moon shit made a lot more sense than John's.

idk I think she was talking about Null here.

I hope someone saved all those spoof movie posters from the main thread.

And I'm so glad that the astrophysics PhDs , military engineers and geopolitical experts who post here have convinced me otherwise.

"BRIANA WU HAS THE MOON ROCK THREAT, UNDER CONTROL. But can she be trusted with your tax dollars?"

 

[Dr. Merkwurdichliebe]

"Brianna Wu is more concerned about moonrocks than she is with actual issues. Vote for a down to Earth candidate. Vote Lynch for Congress".
The attack ads practically write themselves.

The moon needs Wu. District 8 needs Lynch.

How concerned should we be right now? Is anyone doing anything about this?

Every one of those Moon rocks could take out a city.

"Wu is concerned more worried about the threat of Moon Rocks than the threat of North Korean nukes." #MoonRocks

 

[Ravelord]

"Flynt's moon rocks on space or Lynch's feet down to Earth?"

"That's no Wun"
