Re: Going back to the moon? Very bad idea.
You might like Seveneves by Neal Stephenson, which has a moon destruction motif that is farm more reasonable. Of course, while his moon makes sense, the inhabitants of his earth don't ("Hey, the world will end in 1 year" "Wow! Really?" "Yup". "Cor. That sucks. Oh, well, must go, can't be late for work...")
Still, in an effort to be directly relevant to the article... Stephenson worked at Blue Origin.
