What would be the easiest way to knock the moon out of orbit and make it move away from Earth?

>> No.1178130

blast it with piss

>> No.1178136

Sit back and wait; It's already moving away from Earth very slowly.

>> No.1178138

>>1178127

Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand and I'll do it for ya.

>> No.1178139

Send a part of the earth's matter to some other planet or the sun

this will decrease earth's gravitational pull and the moon will move further.

>> No.1178152

Twenty thousand nukes

>> No.1178155

nuke it

>> No.1178159

Would a hydrogen bomb knock it off track?

>> No.1178165

Why would you want to to that?
Without the moon we'd spin out of control and it would cause MASSIVE earthquakes.
Fuck you OP. If you try and take out the moon I'm taking out you and your entire family.
Then I'll proceed to rape your household pets.

The moon is a greedy douchefag with no respect for anybody

Net effect: a few bright dots as seen from Earth. Moon remains in the same place.

>>1178190
the moon keeps us stable
without the moon there wouldn't be life on earth

this thread is making me sad :/

>> No.1178200

fact: in vacuum space, nukes are worthless and only produce a lot of radiation and light

>> No.1178209

ask Q to do it

>> No.1178213

>implying that would be possible after we're all dead

>> No.1178221

>>1178136

Well technically it is just moving into a higher orbit.

>> No.1178224

>>1178200
So if nukes would do nothing, how would be be take out the moon

>> No.1178613

To escape Earth's gravity well, you need to change its velocity by about 0.4578 km/s. Given that the moon is so massive, it would take loads of energy.

>> No.1178764

How much energy are we talking about? because we have all these WMDs just sitting around...

>> No.1178785

The moon creates the Earth's magnetic field. Without it we will do of cancer!!

>> No.1178907

The moon creates what? Oh brother!

>> No.1178954

wait, it's already on its way out...

>> No.1179026

fuckin' magnets.

>> No.1179072

A frikkin' laser. It would move the moon by vaporizing the surface and sending gas jets out into space. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and all that. Build one big enough and powerful enough, and keep it turned on long enough, and it will move the moon out of orbit.

>> No.1179191

Good news! The easiest way would obviously be to point all of the robots' exhaust pipes towards the moon.

>> No.1179199

Laser a few asteroids to come knock the moon out of our orbit.

>> No.1179223

>>1178954
thanks to the spin equalization it will get stuck at some point.
