Submission + - Carl Sagan on team to nuke the moon, Dr. Evil reported jealous (cnn.com)

This would ensure that the US could retaliate against even an effective first strike by the Russians. The first step, of course, would be to detonate a nuke on the moon. And yes, Carl Sagan was on the team (and apparently leaked the info!)
