We all know how Brianna got her moon idea. She hopes that some super-baddies will build an evil military base on it and the government will send her up in a skintight spandex suit, equipped with a space-going motorcycle, so she can pew pew the shit out of them.
This what you had in mind?

PEW! PEW!

Given how out of touch with reality John is, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if some part of him honestly believed Rev60 was real and he's the real life Holiday.
 
I see she is so well educated that she forgot about the Moon's own gravity. It is around 16% of Earth's gravity, but you just can't drop things off the moon. You need to launch them, as the Moonlander used by the US had to have rockets on it that propelled the pod of the landing module back into space.
 
Wu said that moon rocks are more dangerous than nukes. Everyone laughed.
A mile wide rock fired from the moon travelling at mach 30 would be fucking devastating, so there is a glimmer of truth.

What Brianna failed to realise and hilariously subsequently doubled down on, was that the energy requirements to launch that amount of rock at that kind of speed are so utterly fucking ridiculous. You're basically accelerating several billion tonnes of material through the lunar escape velocity and then accelerating it further so that you can get to the earth in a reasonable timeframe and are doing so fast enough for the thick atmosphere of the Earth to not cockblock your destructive potential.

The energy spend required to do this is going to be in the region of 10^20 joules, all to do 10^15 joules of damage.
It's so phenomenally inefficient and wasteful in terms of the return that it makes Rev 60 look like a huge success.
