NASA launched a lunar satellite into orbit today, which will fire a rocket booster at 5,600 MPH into a Moon crater, causing a six-mile-high explosion. They hope to find water in the Moon's south pole. But I find this deeply disturbing.

You savages may be all excited that they want the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite to launch a Centaur rocket into the moon. Buthas anyone really stopped to consider how the Moon (not to mention Ignignokt and Err) feels about this?! I don't care if scientists have detected signs of hydrogen in the past. And I also don't care if the blast will kick up 350 metric tons of debris, letting the trailing satellite cameras analyze the mess for signs of water—the Moon will be in PAIN!!!

Luckily, the satellite isn't scheduled to reach the moon until October 8, giving us about 4 months to round up some space lasers to stop this act of cruelty. I am truly a person for the ethical treatment of the Moon. [NASA via SJ Mercury News via Slashdot]

Here's the stuff that we didn't post today. (Until now, obviously.)

I see a headline that reads "Jetliner lands safely after pilot dies," I click, expecting a story about how advanced modern planes are, that they can even land with a corpse at the wheel. But no, this mostly happy ending came because not one but two extra pilots landed the thing after the 60-year-old captain died of "natural causes." Not high tech, just good planning. [CNN]

A feller cleaning up a uranium enrichment plant in Oak Ridge, Tenn. figured he'd make extra money by selling some pieces of it to the French. (Sadly, the pieces weren't atom-smashingly cool enough for us to write up on Giz.) He'd priced them at $200,000 but it turns out they were really worth 6 years—in prison.

Guess what? South Korea is number 1 in broadband penetration, according to a survey of 58 countries by Strategy Analytics. Why is this not news? Because if you had asked me yesterday who I thought was #1 in broadband, or in wireless bandwidth, or in most plaque-free teeth, I'd have said South Korea. Those goody-two-shoes have it going on. US came in 20th. Also not a surprise. [Yahoo!/AFP]

This is one of those pictures you just want to stare at: It's an armored Bentley, loaded into the cargo hold of a 747. The whole high-res series on Jalopnik is brilliant, actually, if you're into hydraulic lifts. Why didn't we run it? Because, as much as we loved it, neither the jet nor the car (nor the hydraulic lift) had a side-mounted laser cannon. [Jalopnik]

MyVibe is probably the first x-rated app approved by Apple—following the introduction of content ratings—and the first vibrator. Sexual health expert Dr. Debby Herbenick has tried it. Here are her thoughts on it (NSFW):

If you haven't already checked out MyPleasure.com's MyVibe app in the iPhone's app store, you might want to. Unlike many saucy apps out there, MyVibe is free—and fun.

Here's how it works: There's an on/off button that looks like many computer on/offs so it's easily recognizable. On the right there are up and down arrows to control your vibration - short, quick pulses (smaller #s) or longer slower ones (higher #s, up to 100).

The intensity of the vibration MyPleasure could use for this app is obviously limited by the amount of vibration that the iPhone offers, so the orgasmic potential of the MyVibe app is similarly limited. However, orgasms—while fun—aren't everything.

Anticipation, teasing and seduction play a major role in many people's sex lives. Why not turn on the app, hold the iPhone discreetly against your body while on the metro, in a cab or at work as you exchange sultry IMs or Twitter DMs with your real life partner or dream partner? Having a little vibration can add excitement and tingles to your day (and your genitals). [MyVibe via My Sex Professor]

First vibrator app, works for teasing and seduction.

It's free.

iPhone doesn't have enough vibe power to cause an orgasm.

This drill, posted by Flickr user S8, serves absolutely no purpose. On any level. Yet I look at it and still think to myself, "that's friggin awesome." Ladies and gentleman, an unbelievably small drill. [Flickr via Make via CrunchGear]

There's a real company promoting a not-so-real poweryacht called the Code-X. The differentiator—or "thing that's supposed to land a billionaire customer"—is that the boat will have two Formula 1 engines and two solar-powered electric ones.

It's not abundantly clear when you'd use the as-yet-unannounced electric engines, or exactly how efficiently the onboard solar panels will collect sunlight and charge the as-yet-unannounced batteries.

Let's be honest: You probably won't use them all that often. The point is to have them, and to tell your rich-ass friends that you are, in Code-X's words, "a pioneer and frontrunner on the path to a cleaner and more environmentally friendly future." The point is to be saying this while gunning your twin F1 Limor 710HP smogmasters to drown out the riffraff circling you in those environmentally unfriendly Jet Skis.

The most sinister thing about the whole operation is the length that Code-X went to render a completely non-existent boat into so many real-life scenes, almost as if James Cameron was the company's marketing consultant. [Code-X via Josh Spear via DVice]

After seeing this latest Twitter app offering, I think Commodore 64 availability should be the benchmark to judge whether or not your web 2.0 app has officially "made it." Yes, there's really a twitter app for the C64.

Breadbox64 runs on the embedded Contiki OS, and lets you tweet and view your friends' timeline from the ancient platform, provided you have the proper networking gear installed. It will even automatically update your timeline every two minutes. The UI is as 8-bit as can be, though I wouldn't call it the most aesthetically pleasing thing in the world (you didn't expect it to look like TweetDeck, did you now?). Anyways, you can download it if you want here. It's good for a novelty tweet or two. [Van den Brande]

Art is great, sure. But art made from bolts of electricity fired from tesla coils? That's my kind of art.

Boing Boing Video went and checked out Omega Recoil, a group of crazies who put on performances with gigantic Tesla Coils. And while I'm sure you'd love to read me opine about what their performances are like, why don't you just watch the video and see for yourself? [Boing Boing Gadgets]

EA sports and Pizza Hut have teamed up to bring boxing fans the chance to win a limited edition Fight Night Round 4 custom Xbox 360 console.

Oh, and the grand prize is a trip to Vegas to see a championship fight. So, yeah...this Xbox console rules. The even included a little dried blood on there—nice touch. Should it have been the grand prize you think? I mean, Vegas is Vegas, but with MMA stealing the spotlight, boxing is more entertaining on consoles anyway. [Pizza Hut]

If you still don't know what you're getting Dad for Father's Day, HybridSpace Furniture has come up with an all-in-one home entertainment "Man Wall," which includes gadgets that are stereotypically man.

A 52'' Vizio LCD HDTV is the wall's centerpiece, with two smaller flat panels, a Panasonic 5.1 home theater system, DVD player, CD changer, iPod docking station, and surround-sound speakers around it. That's not all though—there's also a wine rack, microwave, cigar humidors, and a refrigerated built-in beer keg with a tap for an ice cold brewski. All it's missing is a BBQ grill, porn collection and your girlfriend, telling you to do the dishes while she changes the channel to watch Oprah as your team scores the winning touchdown.
