Some Doomsday/Thriller Levity (Finally!)
Moonbase Japan Robots 2020
If these are self-replicating robots, and they start making smaller versions of themselves, then the moon will be "grey goo" by 2100. Luckily, the Earth will be insulated from this mutating, replicating robot microbe horde. Insulated by the blackness of 250,000 miles of vacuum. Insulated, that is, until a giant meteor strikes the moon and kicks the robots into Earth's gravitational field.
Will the nanobots burn up on entry through the atmosphere? Probably not, because they will probably slow down fast, due to their low mass. Who can save the Earth? The Japanese Corporation that put the robots on the Moon in the first place.
