The moon has 1.2% the mass of the earth, per Google calculator. That would be like talking of a bomb that could disintegrate a conical wedge of the earth that encompassed the continental USA... I don’t think so, not the biggest thermonuclear device ever constructed on earth.

We wouldn’t do much more than leave a shallow scorched crater on the moon that probably wouldn’t be visible with the naked eye.

I believe that’s closer to 16 or 17%, I think you lost a decimal place there. If it was 1.2%, tides would be a few inches...

Damn, you appear to have been right, 1/6th volume and yet that much less mass... It must have a creamy filling!!!
