Seriously???
I mean, are you serious?
Answer = NO!!!
Just like the Air Force, the Army and the CIA, the Navy soon could be deploying its own armed drones.
To that end, the Navy will request funds in fiscal year 2010 to begin outfitting its new surveillance drone with kinetic weapons.
...well for a start, if the moon gets blown up OR the moon gets blown away from out orbit the tides will be screwed up.

NOTHING is going to happen!!
The impact will stir up lunar dust needed to search for signs of ice
NASA plans to bomb the moon's south pole with an unmanned spacecraft launched in October 2008, tossing up a cloud of lunar debris that will be visible to Earth-based observatories, the space agency announced Monday. A satellite will fly through the 30-to-40-mile-high dust plume to search for evidence of water ice left by comets that slammed into the moon billions of years ago.
NASA's goal of reaching the moon by 2018 and establishing a human outpost several years later will be guided by efforts to verify the presence of ice
