Nuke the far side of the moon and plunge it into earth. Give the asteroid inadequacy issues.

Wouldn't detonating on the forward side rather than the zenith side be most effective at lowering the perigee of the moon?

Alas, without the struts, the boosters shall return unto The Lord, leaving thine kerbalnauts Kerbinbound.
