[Rockhounds] Supercomputer Simulations Reveal How a Giant Impact Could Have Formed the Moon

[Dora Smith]

I thought it was pretty simple.  Small planet came in, hit the earth at 
an angle, the force melted the moon and the earth and then a big chunk 
flew off, or something of the sort, there could have been some 
reaggregation.    Don't need 10 engineers trying to change a lightbulb 
to understand that.
