What do you mean by "polish the moon"?
4 comments

I can only assume it means creating a large, vigorously reflective surface. Not the whole moon, but presumably making a reflective, concave part large enough to send a focused beam of directed energy.

(NB: this doesn't sound like a good idea to me, or necessarily realistic, I'm just guessing that's what is meant.)

Colonize it with Polish people, of course.
Just make sure to send the government up there first.
Cover it with solar cells.
Chrome the moon?
