    What would happen if we were to detonate a very very powerful nuclear weapon on the moon? Would the explosion knock its orbit towards earth, causing tidal waves and misery? Could the moon be destroyed, showering the earth in a rain of meteoric death?

    • @GraniteStateVictoria

      It kind of had the opposite effect on me, I thought it'd just kick up a little dust and only affect a very tiny part of the moon, since I'm used to thinking of humans being so small to the point of having no power to affect anything beyond a human scale, but seeing all that would happen was actually a reminder of how scary nuclear weapons really are.
