Just for clarity, launching a nuke into the moon was once considered:

But never done of course.

Since when did a exploding a bomb become like dropping a washing machine?

Every day, more than a metric ton of meteoroids hits the Moon," says Bill Cooke of the Marshall Space Flight Center's Meteoroid Environment
Office. They literally fall out of the sky, in all shapes and sizes, from specks of comet dust to full-blown asteroids, traveling up to a hundred
thousand mph.
The moon has a mass equal to about 1/81 of the mass of the earth
a 2 ton satellite traveling at 5,800 mph impacting the moon which weighs 162,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds (162 sextillion pounds).
Good day.

Now that you mention it, I recalled that. Thanks for the link, though...

According to Ingo Swann's book "Penetration", the Apollo 13 mission was sabotaged by an ET presence on the Moon because they were carrying a nuke
they intended to detonate. No idea how true that story may be, but having checked the link it at least sounds possible that they'd consider such an
experiment.
Great thread, by the way. Haven't enjoyed myself so much since ET Man's "Warning fron the benevolents". ATS needs threads like this from time to
time - a break from all the serious stuff.
