If you cut the moon in half, you could never get them apart. Big rockets or not. I did see a movie once where they pushed the earth by building huge boosters on Antartica.

If you want two moons, your only choice is to blow the moon up into bits and pieces. Then work on getting those pieces to coalesce into two moons.

A more worthwhile effort would be to build a huge observatory and base smack in the middle of the far side. You'd get about 6 weeks of unobscured viewing. You'd relay data back to earth via satellite in lunar polar orbit.

I think the Chinese will do this (the observatory and base).

Whenever Superman pushes a planet, somewhere to the people who observe it, he looks like he's just doing pushups.
