Yeah, the Loonies win in the Heinlein novel. Because of gravity.

But if we blow up the moon, what will all of us do with the shoeboxes with pinholes in them? I mean we only pull them out once a decade or so, but still...

For thousands of years mankind has longer to destroy the moon!

Now, finally, the dream is about to be realized!

David Weber wrote an okay novel based on the 2nd idea.

I'm guessing that the Hollywood version would be closer to this:
1) hot big breasted moon women (BBMW) aliens awakened by probe.
2) They decided to invade the earth
3) Most of earth enslaved by BBMW
4) unpossible 20 year old scientist/engineer/skateboarder/US Navy SEAL figures out how to defeat the BBMW.
5) 20 year old scientist/engineer/skateboarder/US Navy SEAL seduces the ultra hot rebel leader (Megan Fox) of the evil BBMW.
6) BBMW are defeated by earthican product placement (Mountain Dew?)
7) 20 year old scientist/engineer/skateboarder/US Navy SEAL and now BBMW new leader kiss.
