Sending a Torah to the moon (Google Lunar X Project)

Last week, the engineering arm of the European Space Agency confirmed that it has been commissioned to test the space-hardiness of the capsule that would contain the Torah, the Post reported.

The capsule must be designed to protect the sacred text from the moon’s harsh radiation and temperature changes for at least 10,000 years. The moon lacks an atmosphere to trap heat, and the surface temperatures can rocket to a daytime high of about 253 degrees and plunge to 279 degrees below zero at night.

There are a lot of people I would like to send to the moon

This is what I'd call a mixed message. On the one hand we have NASA bringing all light and enlightenment to the world in uncovering Islam's heretofore unknown scientific contributions to all things space, earth and spiritual.

On the other, we have the combined forces of Islam coupled with every non-western 3rd, 4th, and 5th world crap hole in the UN aligning with a now socialist USA, UK, France, Russia (et al) to condemn the Jews and MAKE them make peace with the so-called Palestinians (i.e., surrender to them).

One would almost think the masters of Google are marking out the moon as the final resting place for Judaism. Their final solution?

You may find this interesting Ping.

Not sure of the real purpose of the stunt - I would be much more impressed if they could protect a 5-lb pack of homemade beef jerky for 10,000 years....

There are already a bunch of microfilm bibles on the moon from both Apollo 14 and Apollo 15. Google Reverend John Stout.

Hope they take a Tanach or three to Mars!

Tel Aviv-based company Torah on the Moon was hoping to deposit Torah scrolls on the moon as part of a cultual preservation project in case something should happen to Earth, the Washington Post reported this week.

If something happens to the Earth then how would aliens know what the Torah was to begin with?

True enough. They might think it's something to eat.

I don't believe there is any life out there beyond microbes, if that. I know I go against what many people believe but it is VERY possible that God did create all of existence just for us. Why not? Who are we to know what His intentions were?

Oh boy, this is bound to get the muzzies panties in a wad!!

Now they will want to put a koran up there but will never figure out how to use camel poo for rocket fuel.

More appropriate send the koranimal book to the moon since “allah” was the moon idol MoMo chose as the symbolic head of his satanic death cult.
