What if now that Earth's oceans are rising we need to move the Moon
further away.? *We have to protect high waves from destroying cities
like NYC London etc. We could do it. *Bert *PS Think New Orleans


Yeah, it would only take what? *The energy of a quadrillion nuclear
bombs to move the moon 1m/s?


Are all republican Yids as dumbfounded as yourself?


Okay, so it won't take that many nukes? *What's your answer?
Talk about obfuscation. *Either prove it wrong or STFU.


Use a million tonnes of the moon itself, as tethered at its own 1.5x
L2, (possibly 2xL2) and just let those natural centripetal forces do
their thing of gradually pulling our Selene/moon further away from
Earth.

It's a little more complicated than that, but it's not insurmountably
complex.
