| Mar 19, 2016 at 22:06 | comment | added | userLTK | @superluminary voted you up for thinking outside the box, even if your suggestion is impossible. Neutronium is thought to only be stable at masses of roughly 100 Jupiter, which would be too much mass and it would basically eat the moon and turn it into a tiny, very bright star like thing. | |

| Oct 30, 2014 at 20:16 | comment | added | JasonWilczak | Yes, the Earth would need to stay intact to undergo a 'healing' process. So, by definition, destroying it would prevent that :) I like the idea of making a dense core though to help offset the fact that it is much smaller than a regular planet. | |
| Oct 30, 2014 at 20:11 | comment | added | trichoplax is on Codidact now | You could make the moon habitable by increasing it's mass with a very dense core, which would allow it to hold onto an atmosphere, and a magnetic field to protect from the solar wind, but this would have devastating effects on Earth (huge tides and increased tectonic activity). Do you specifically want to avoid destroying the Earth? | |

Added some clarity to the question

| Oct 30, 2014 at 18:45 | comment | added | JasonWilczak | Alright, I didn't even know if it was a possibility or if I was just running down the wrong road on this one. Let me add some more details to the question. | |

| Oct 30, 2014 at 18:27 | comment | added | overactor | This needs some more specification. Terraforming the moon is definitely possible. A valid question could be, what level of technology is necessary for terraforming the moon? Though that is still a tiny bit broad and might need some more scoping. | |
