Aw, come on gang!  It was only a funny story.  If your going to
read SF, you gotta learn to suspend belief once in awhile.
I thought the punch line of the story was a gas.  I had an
image of the moon-walkers diving and running all over the place
every time the shells came whizzing by.  Then, going to Congress
to ask for enough money to buy a computer to be able to predicte
the next passage of the shells was a laugher.  Loosen up,  don't
get so serious about the shell problem.  Imagine Laurel and Hardy
all dressed up in space suits, carring a large sheet of glass between
them when one of the shells goes through the glass.  Can't you
see the possibilities for humorous situations?
