Few can make better sense of it than Thoreau, although this commenter notes that the headline “NASA Successfully Bombs Moon” was also in the news today, and takes a pretty good stab at making sense of the world as well.

Yes. The POTUS won the Nobel Peace Prize the same day that NASA bombed the moon. Oh irony.Report
It’s quite a good irony, really. Nobel’s fortune (which supports the prizes) came from his invention of dynamite, intended to be used for peaceful purposes like construction, but of course prominently used to maim and kill. The missiles fired at the moon use technology developed by the military to create horrific devastation, but in this case for pure scientific research. Swords and plowshares, anyone?Report
