Would it even be possible to blow up the moon, if every country consolidated its efforts toward that end and tried to?

What would the aftereffects be? Would there be some sort of particle shower that people on Earth would experience as ashes because of the heat shield, or would giant chunks still make it through and decimate large populations?

I mean, literally what would happen if the entire Earth decided that we should blow up the moon?

It's not the dumbest question that's been asked here, at least, right?

I know that collectively, the U.S. and Soviet Union were supposed to have enough nukes to wipe all life off the face of the planet quite a few times over by the end of the 1980s (except for cockroaches... gotta give props to the cockroaches, as fucking disgusting as they are to most humans I've encountered), so like doesn't that mean that the moon, being 1/6 as dense, is capable of being entirely rent asunder as a sphere, should all of these nuclear armaments be strategically placed across it?

Honestly, I don't know, because I got a Master's Degree in the Humanities instead of Science, even though I was always really interested in it, but I'm assuming that it would probably result in a giant collection of fragments that are threatening to be pulled in by the gravitation of Earth.

The only way to dispel that would be with a second detonation of nuclear armaments that might break those up into bits that were dissolved by the heat shield that surrounded Earth, but if they failed, would condemn a pretty large population of the planet to be wiped out like dinosaurs as large chunks of rock that had been hurdling through space struck the surface of the planet.
