Love the headline.

Either jokingly or seriously, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh warned that if NASA bombs the moon tomorrow it may set us up for “a retaliatory attack” from intelligent beings in the universe.

Some information and raw footage here:

ETA...at 1:40 or so in the video clip, you can find out what Santa Claus does in the off season.

Or would their mutual gravitational attraction cause them to recombine into a big water-ball that would continue to orbit the Earth?

I would expect them to evaporate nearly instantly, then freeze into a cloud of ice crystals.

See Cecil Adams here.

I don't think that would be the fate of an amount of water the size of the moon.

Why do comets have tails?

I'm not sure the amount would make a difference. Possibly the outer layers would freeze and trap the inner inside, but we're talking about seriously low pressure and temperature.

(Trying to recall without googling) Something about solar winds thawing and blowing free the frozen gases that make up the body of the comet? I recall that the tail points away from the sun, not toward the direction the comet is coming from. I took Astronomy in 1987...

Comets are mostly rock and water.

Comet nuclei are known to range from about 100 meters to more than 40 kilometers across. They are composed of rock, dust, water ice, and frozen gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane and ammonia.[9] Because of their low mass, comet nuclei do not become spherical under their own gravity, and thus have irregular shapes.

Also,


When close enough to the Sun, a comet exhibits a visible coma (fuzzy "atmosphere"), and sometimes a tail, both because of the effects of solar radiation upon the comet's nucleus.

"Eventually most of the volatile material contained in a comet nucleus evaporates away, and the comet becomes a small, dark, inert lump of rock or rubble that can resemble an asteroid."

(also wiki)

Where did the water go?

It's still there, but exists as a gas. It's that vacuum thing.

Exactly. It was vaporized by solar radiation.

Right...so why wouldn't that same thing happen to this hypothetical moon water?

It should.

The water would not fall to earth and boil us all.

The moon would become something like a comet, and continue to orbit the earth, emitting a spectacular trail, until the sun had dissolved it all into vapor.

Water is very uncomfortable as a liquid in space. It wants to be either a solid, or a gas. But, once it's a gas, there's no way for it to condense and then freeze again.

That makes sense. I wasn't too worried about the vapor boiling us anyway.

Just tell her that bigger things have already hit the moon, show her some pictures of really big moon craters, then grab her by her ankles and flip her on her belly.

I'm surprised the look you must have given her didn't start a fight. You must have some amazing self-control.
