Nothing in this world thats worth having comes easy

Scientists are keeping a close eye on a big asteroid that is expected to impact (and destroy) the Moon in September.
The space rock, which is called 2012 GD5, is about 790 feet wide. It is on a collision course with the Moon and will hit on the last day of September, 2012, unless NASA is able to deflect it away.
Talk about the asteroid was on the agenda during the 50th session of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), held earlier this month in Vienna.
A UN Action Team on near-Moon objects (NMOs) noted the asteroid’s repeat approaches to the Moon and the how it will directly hit the moon in two months.
The object was discovered in January 2012 by Mount Margo Survey observers in Tucson, Ariz. While scientists have a good bead on the space rock’s size, its mass and compositional makeup are unknown at present

Even if hypothetically an asteroid of this size hit the Moon, it wouldnt destroy it...Not even near to that!
