Misleading headline alert - the plan did not involve the complete destruction of the Moon. It was lunacy, though, no question about that.

We really need a policy to keep British tabloids out of news, at least. I think a lot of people don't realize they're tabloids.

All that radioactive dust would have floated around and eventually got back into the Earth’s atmosphere...maybe years later.

Actually a nuclear explosion on the moon does send a pretty clear message about who the king of the hill really is.

That was the era of big thinkers. I would have favored this being done of the 4th of July, just to underscore the point.
Why nuke the moon? Because we can.

Most of the dust it kicked up would have fallen back to the moon. Besides tons of naturally occurring radioactive space dust falls to the earth every year.
