It is 2020, and it is time to talk about the thing on everyone's mind: destroying the moon.
There was actually a US plan to nuke the moon (Carl Sagan was involved) in the Cold War: Project A119. But the US decided to do the Apollo Program instead. 1/3 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_A…

Sadly, actually blowing up the moon is outside of humanity's reach, it would require 600M of the biggest nuclear bombs ever built & Saturn Vs to launch them
So how about just writing on the moon. It is hard to do with nukes, requiring 1M warheads & 3,000 Saturn Vs per letter 2/3

Better to launch asphalt and paint the moon- just 2,000 Saturn Vs per letter. To write "hello" you would need 10,000 rockets, (~$1B each in today's dollars). So, around $10 trillion, give or take, only 1/8 of the yearly gross world product. Good deal! 3/3 canmom.tumblr.com/post/863420496…
