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?

hi
Keep up the good content!
Hi
Oh
good question
" Nuclear explosions might be big but space is bigger." Puts things in perspective I guess
Eh human stupidity is larger
Yes. I stole that from albert einstein
“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”
- Douglas Adams
The existential horror that that brings: all the destructive capabilities of humankind are less than a whisper when compared to the infinite universe, is basically why I watch this channel.

I think the most impressive part is that it would only leave a crater of 1km in diameter. There are so many bigger craters caused by asteroids and its just humbling to know how little we as humans are in the universe
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.

Hmm interestin thought process
...shouldn't the question to short circuit this whole question be 'why would you want to nuke the moon'?
The music is so good, mad props for choosing it to create this awesome video
02:31 "melts into glass" that should tell you how powerful it is.
Best sentence in this video: „maybe we should just... not do that.“
That seems to be the answer to most "what if we nuke..." questions.
But what if someone finds a way to profit off of it? After all, profit is the only incentive in our economic system. Once you are rich enough you can just dig a massive underground bunker and hide from the negative effects

After watching this, I saw a dream where I was at the moon with my cousin, watching a nuclear explosion on the moon. It was pretty amazing but then we decided to quickly run back into our spacecrafts before radiaton started showing its effects.
Love how as it zooms out from the crater, the last frame shows waaaaay bigger ones.

Yeah thats kinda humbling

“Pathetic.”
@@Staramitas9027 more like adorable.
There's a reason one of the most feasible and damaging weapons humanity will have once space exploration becomes a thing is to just drop large rods of heavily metal from orbit. The kinetic energy of just dropping something suitably heavy from orbit dwarfs every nuke we currently have or likely will have by now.
“Maybe we should just not do that”
The classic phrase.
Yeah maybe just... “Don’t”
What about no?
