Even the Asteroid took one look at what was going on here on Earth and said "actually, fuck that"

It might hit the moon though!

Whoa, imagine seeing the moon glow again from all the melted rock.

... I mean for the first time ever, since I am human & partake in such regular human activities as not existing when the moon formed.
