Could we use this against the moon to move our orbit around the sun just a tad outwards, to counteract global warming effects

- yyyfbisagenius1 3y agoExcellent idea! We all know that, long term, earth's biosphere is doomed (for human habitation) and the goal is to start over with a terraformed Blue Mars. Of course. So projects like nuking our moon are a wonderful way to start practicing those bigger-picture geo-engineering projects without ... you know ... practicing on this little oxygen-rich wet rock we're all presently tethered to.
- yyyfbisagenius1 3y agoAlthough, now that I think about it some more, you'd probably want to be very certain of all the math before you turn a nontrivial amount of the Moon's surface into liquid molten rock belching out superheated gas. It would be a bummer if you, for example, were to accelerate the Moon into falling into the Earth (again).
- sebzim4500 3y agoThere is basically nothing we could do to Earth that would make it less habitable than Mars is. If we had the capability of terraforming Mars, it would be trivial to fix climate change here on Earth.
- swader999 3y agoHave you read the conjecture/conspiracy theory that Mars was nuked to oblivion in the distant past? This is good entertainment: https://youtu.be/q9Nuy7mFIsE?feature=shared https://youtu.be/q9Nuy7mFIsE?feature=shared

- h2odragon 3y agoNono, we need to wrap the planet in paper. That will shield us from solar radiation as well as incoming rocks. And sequester carbon. Then we can use the energy from relocating the Moon to correct the earth's axial tilt. I've got a plan in motion: https://snafuhall.com/p/earthwrap.html https://snafuhall.com/p/earthwrap.html

- swader999 3y agoI'd be voting for a warmer planet if that was on the table. 2/3 of the land mass is outside the tropics as it is and cold kills more than heat.
