Destroying the moon would end all life here as we know it, the moon is the reason we have the weather we do.

The hollow moon theory isnt widely accepted.

he moon does have an atmosphere albeit a very thin one, it does have one.

The moon is in the orbit that it is because unlike other moons we know about ours wasnt captured by earth, it is actually much too large for that, the moon is a result of a massive collision between earth and another very large body, thats why its orbit is what it is, The moon is also getting farther from earth every year but only a fraction of an inch or so but over millions of years that does add up and will change earth drastically.

when it was formed, the Moon was about 14,000 miles (22,530 kilometers) from Earth. It?s now more than 280,000 miles, or 450,000 kilometers away.

Also the idea that we only see one half of the moon is incorrect, we see about 2/3ds of it.
