Fun thought experiment. If you haven't read Seveneves[1], the book details what happens when the moon inexplicably explodes (spoiler alert, it's not pretty). It's a crazy Neal Stephenson novel, and I highly recommend it. Allegedly they'll make it into a movie, but I don't see how. It's too out there.

Ah. Section 31 at it again, I see.
