Excuse me, what? Maybe if you somehow added enough energy to immediately jettison the moon from Earth’s orbit or steered every asteroid in the solar system into the surface of the Earth. This is just nonsense otherwise. Any future mega projects can easily account for orbital mechanics, it’s just physics not magic.

The mass of the moon is “not that much” on a solar scale. The comment was about adding another planet and moving it around the solar system to “adjust the thermostat.” We can’t even get a rocket off the ground without blowing it up sometimes… I have little faith that we can move a whole freakin planet around without killing everyone.
