What If the Moon Exploded?

Is it a meteor shower? Space debris? No, it's something much, much worse. Our nearest neighbor is a full Moon no more. The Moon exploded and splintered into millions of fragments. Enormous lunar rocks are hurtling toward Earth. Could this wipe us off the face of the planet? How could the Moon explode in the first place? And if we do survive, how would losing the Moon change life as we know it?

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure through time, space and chance while we (hopefully) boil down complex subjects in a fun and entertaining way.

Suggestion: How about a 'What If Everyone In the World Stopped Talking For One Day' video. Seriously, stocks would crash, airplanes couldn't land, no one could call 911 or the police etc....it would be a disaster.
