I think the moon is much more dangerous for humans than the other way around. We will soon find out how dangerous....

As a historian, I eagerly await the documentary about Moon War I and Moon War II.

Space based weapons were banned too....but we see how that turned out. Space was supposed to be for research only and not militarized. But its a money maker so.....

The moon hasn't been touched by a man in decades, we must be gentle with her.

I agree. But we won't.

Disposing of radioactive waste from the moon would be exceptionally trivial. A bit of math and you can just hurl it right into a massive fusion incenerator.

Moon will be fine. No nuclear power planet has ever failed without humans disabling safety systems to run test or do something else.

Moon is a piece of rock. So whatever we do to it is no big deal. It's not like there are moon elephants for people to cry about.

Hopefully it will be populated by Moonsluts

What's there to fuck up? There are no moon natives or moon ecosystems. The universe doesn't care about the moon. Animals don't care about the moon (aside from the light it reflects and its gravitational effects). Only people care about the moon. Why shouldn't people go there and do things? If ever, it would be many centuries before human development would ever be visible from earth.

You'd be surprised how much energy it actually takes to throw something into the sun

Well it'll just be known as The Great Lunar War until the 2nd one

I mean what do you think the Whalers do after a hard day of telling tall tales and singing their whaling tune

Or like said situation, but in real life. Ya know, what video games are often based on.

How about some more nuclear-powered Earth bases too?

I do not eagerly await the documentary that just asks questions about whether the Moon Wars ever occurred which will air on the History Channel.

Well, technically they will be correct in blaming it on “aliens.”

Honestly, most wars won't be fought with guns the way sci-fi portrays them. All you need is the ability to launch a missile that will shrapnel detonate directionally towards the enemy base from outside the range of AA and you win. Physics will basically do the rest and AA will get overloaded when there's hundreds of thousands of debris coming towards the base at puncture velocity. You basically need to compromise pressure in 1 or 2 difficult to patch locations and you win.
No need for bullets. Remember that objects in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Wars will basically end in a day early on, until habs are massively reinforced in a meter of rock, concrete and metal or all of the above.

First it requires 10x as much energy to slow down something in orbit until it falls into the sun.
It's honestly a non-issue as there's no reason not to use highly enriched U235/Plutonium fueled reactors like are used on U.S. Navy subs and carriers. They literally go 50+ years with no need for refueling/recycling installed fuel.
It's not like anyone is going to fly up to the moon and steal it lol.

What about all the weight pulled from the moon and brought down to earth? That in the long term could alter currents, tides, etc
