  1. build a magnetic satellite network shield around the moon.
  2. strategically place massive nuclear bombs around the entire moon, evenly spaced.
  3. explode said nukes.
  4. wait 10 years for radiation to dissipate.
  5. terraforming complete.

Or! Hollow it out and spin it really fast! Now we can walk on the inside and keep the oxygen inside!

Smash a big rock into it? Massive engines pointing 45 degrees up from the surface with fusion reactors powering them throwing particles out of orbit circling the equator? Magic? I dunno I was being dumb when I wrote my comment lol. Sounds like a cool ideaz

Edit: I’m not cool enough for ideaz.
