This was a nice little informal Newtonmas gathering. We decided to nuke the moon.

Nice. If I had been there, I would have lobbied to crank up the Earth's axis of rotation to make it perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic.

I'm still working on the details of how to generate the necessary torque. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

Aww! I new that I was going to miss something fun! So, was this just a decision, or did you also act upon that decision?

(I wasn't there, but Mr Show -- Blow Up the Moon seems relevant)
