Could we survive if...

[Evil-Sausage]

an asteroid destroyed the Moon? Without the Moon there wouldn't be any tides. Scientist say that tides are essential for life. I still think we could manage, right?

Yeah, we would be pretty fucked....

The moon is more important than just causing tides. Its gravity keeps the earth tilted at a pretty minimal angle so our seasons are not too severe.

Without the moon, our entire ecosystem could be destroyed due to outrageously hot/cold summers and winters.

Doesn't the moon help keep the Earths axis spinning the way it does? Without the moon, our seasons would get pretty fucked up. Not to mention all the little pieces of moon rock that will come down to crush us.

but wouldn't the gravity remain behind?

Like what the others said, the moon is exceptionally important to us and life itslef.

Plus if there was no moon it would be REALLY dark at night...moreso!

OH SNAP!! New "End of the world" theory on our hands...

[SugarQmuffin69]

Eh maybe or maybe just some debri would kill a couple of million nothing big

[chris53456]

well gee, big ass chunks of moon rocks and the asteroid itself would probably rain down on earth so yeah, we would be fucked

[tydyedsmiley]

wed be teh fucked.
lets all go to mars.

Gravity comes about due to large concentrations of mass, such as planets.

No.

[Evil-Sausage]

Lets make a "Could we survive if..." thread with other factors! Could we survive if...the polar ice caps melted?

[Evil-Sausage]

I hate when my threads suck...

[RedDreadSky]

We probably couldn't. Any steroid that could destroy the entire moon would have an effect on the ear anyway, there'd be debris and near misses from asteroids cause heat waves.

[StrawberryFFuck]

There would be a lot more midnight raping!
so yah we are all DOOMED.

Its not new. Unless you meant New to Newgrounds...

But anyway im not trying to be a dick here but... Yeah. This is a pretty awesome theory cuz like. It would be awesome if we didn't have a moon...

...assuming we are by then, already safely nestled into space colonies and whatnot.

[Icecry0]

What if we shot about 500 nuke missles at the astroid that was about to hit the moon, and suddenly they come back and rain down on us. Then the moon explodes and every one goes berserk as moon peices rain toward us and tides, seasons, and whatever go wacko.

We must destroy all asteroids! >:(

With a lazer cannon of course ^_^

[zalecot]

no tides = world preety fucked up
but yeah i think we could manage

[najjman1]

no tides....extremely hot summers......extremely cold winters.......huge chunks of rock falling down to cruch us........not to mention once the sun goes down it will be pitch black without a spec of light whatsoever.......

I'D HAVE TO SAY PRETTY DAMN FUCKED!!!!

[JewelCrafter]

Dude, God would help us! Why can't you just leave it to him!?

[RatedB]

I'd say we would be screwed, but who knows.
no more cheese :(

[someone-else]

I'd say major changes, but survivable.

[HogWashSoup]

probebly so, but be hard.

plus, if an asteroid hit the mood and destroyed it, chuncks of the mood would probebly come to earth.

[zalecot]

chuncks of the mood? u mean meen moon right cause only gemale moods are that destructive

[PsychoticMind]

I want to blow the moon.

[Xaxrox]

We'd survive! Who needs that big lump of dust anyway?

[blog-man]

all the animals would get confused, the sea tides would be all messed up, and the seasons would go stupid.

[LeeJaySan]

I dunno! But sure there won't be night time anymore!

I think these 'End of the world; threads will actually end up ironicly destroying the world.
