For over 25 years, the moon has floated in the sky.
Many questions remain about this behemoth. Why does it exist? Where does it exist (we just don't know), and how big is it? We know it's big, but HOW big? Is it bigger than a huge egg? Maybe, but we don't know how big that egg is!
Science needs $500 to provide a better understanding of
a) Is that really the moon?
if yes
b) How big is that moon?
if big
c) Actually?
if yes
d) My god, it's a moon, and it' s big... or is it?
Science needs your help. From now on, provide science with the help you are federally mandated to provide.
Make the moon's size finite! (more)

The moon is this big [ ] I measured it last night between my thumb and forefinger. :)
You're too late. Last week Belarusian scientists discovered that the moon is in fact merely a holographic projection surrounding a satellite, sent by the sun to fool the feeble minded. The satellite projects neural suppressants, which keep us in line.
The question now is, how big of a nuke do we have to lob at the sun in response to this?
Don't worry about it, just thank God it's there to light up the night, Lupe
Monkeys, bless it!
That's pretty bad.
OMG that is hysterical. I support your wish 100%
I love this wish! You sir are a scholar and gentle man. I think $500 will be a good start...but you MIGHT need an extra $5 - $10.
Are you serious?
The moon is no laughing matter. it's a MOON!
The Earth's one natural satellite, the Moon, is more than one quarter the size of Earth itself (3,474 km diameter). So Blah!!
the Moon's mass is 7.35 x 10^22 kilograms.
But you know, the Feds spent millions of dollars to find out exactly what was in a Cow's fart, so maybe you could get a grant to prove NASA wrong? ;^)
You fools are unwilling to modernize. A moon is not a cheese item or object. It is a concretion of iron and rock, most likley created when a planetesimal approx. the size of Mars struck the earth.
The earth;s size we know
The planetesimal's size we estimate
but the moon!? WE JUST DON'T KNOW!
The moon could be far larger than our own planet, for all we know, and we could be it's moon!
Why are you so scared to face your pathetic superstitions and learn the scientific truth about the moon!
instead, you vote away money, wasted on children with disabilities who can't even qualify for NASA, and in turn, GO to the moon. You vote away money so people can get hookers. There are NO HOOKERS on the moon, folks.
Try to reprioritize your lives. The moon is coming, and one day, you'll be thanking me that you knew how big it was when it got here.
Guys always think it's size that matters.
how can 500$ get that for you
ummmmmm~ Hasn't this already been done ?? By NASA and Carl Sagan, et. al. ??
Lot's of luck with this ~ if this is what you want to do.
Most people prefer to live in the dark ages, in which the moon's size is infinite, and the earth is shaped like a skateboard! But this is today's world, a modern world of happiness and knowledge and reason!
It's time to accept that the moon must be measured!
I can't understand how anyone can be against the moon's finite size being measured once and for all, by a living scientist, Dr. Alphor Bocca, Ph.D. from Milan.
He is the world's leading expert on the size of finite things.
And a LIVING scientist? You must be kidding! Scientists don't have lives. Everybody knows that.
I'm totally against the moon. I think the moon is responsible for all of the problems in the world. The moon's tyranny must be stopped. I think the moon should be impeached.
Scientists suck too.
My ex-mother-in-law mooned me once and I'da paid $500.00 NOT to see that ever again! HA HA HA!
Who cares how big or little it is? God created it, science has nothing to do with it. Total waste of money if you ask me.
i dare you to change the wikipedia entry on "moon" and then link to it from here so that we can go look up the diameter of the moon and then realize that it actually hasn't been measured, ever. and that likely, the moon is a figment of nasa's imagination.
I would give you a better vote (than 3 stars) if you would change b to "How little is that moon?" It is clearly not big, for I can frame it with my fingers. And I do not have giant fingers!
Good luck
remember the makeshift.

Everyone knows the moon is made of cheese, so why bother to measure it anyway? As soon as mesaurements are determind, Marvin the Martian will come along and eat a chunk, therefore making measurements completely void.
Silly. :)
Answer: no, make yourself a sandwich
Retort: sudo go make me a sandwich
Counter-Retort: Ok.

Explination:[ link ]
The moon's diameter is 3,474 kilometres, it hs a volume of 2.1958×1010 km³ and a mean density of 3,346.4 kg/m3.
We -do- have the measurements of the moon
are you a scientist ? if yes, do you really think you can determine the size of the moon ? if yes, do you have the calipers large enough to fit around a very large egg ? if yes, can you make me a hard boiled egg salad sandwich please ? i'm hungry.
