Just as our pursuit of ultimate harmony has freed ourselves, so too has it freed our moon.
Thinkers of Planet Earth have continued to ponder such mystery, and after exhausting their list of fallacies and solipsism, centered upon 5 main schools of thought:
The Moon has not been freed by us, as beautiful as such an image may seem, for it is a subtle poison to believe this reality is centered upon us.
The moon has always been free, it is only now that our eyes are wide open to see it.

Harmonism is occult-lite. It's like baby-tier magic. The basics are there but what happens when you dig into deeper occultism is that you learn mind and body are both equally important and should be tuned and refined into a well oiled machine in order to receive maximum results. That's why land-whales and mind-fucked people stick to basic bitch harmonism. What do I always say folks? Fuck you Guru. It's because it encourages people, mostly idles, to be comfortable and proud in all their godly-like beauty, no matter the size, shape or mental condition. It also makes them feel special and in control. And they also do it to get attention for being spoopy. Fucking up the moon's rotation? Baby steps. Just you wait and watch for the real meme magic to come.

is magic made manifest, through Godliness or ritual. Harmonic magic in a world where we are continually conquering the material limits of existence continues to show us new conundrums not outside of existence, but merely a facet we have left unexplored. Harmonic magic attracts positivity to Earth and then relays it towards its target. Where before Earth and Moon formed a dualistic pair, harmonic convergence of humanity has caused this balance to be ejected, for negativity to be expelled and the moon quite simply could not redirect all of it - resulting in it being freed from its momentous shackles, free to be seen by all. The real mystery I find is in locating where all this expelled negativity has ended up. Given the presence of genocidal plants however, I believe we have already located it. This brings up an important psychoethical question then, in that if we as a civilization turn Earth into a world of unrelenting virtue, are we causing our neighbours to slowly rot from the poisons we have given them? And can we in good conscious drink of the clear rain, if we leave the toxic excrement for the plants down-river?

Dunno how much my opinions matters, but I think it's justified to put unmanned lasers in orbit to burn down those dastardly Plantpeople missiles. Purely as point-defence, you understand. Aaaaand maybe later we could form a temporary fleet to go to Iblyria and "enforce our sanctions". With fire.
By no means! Space is an environmental haven, unsullied by humans, and that's how it's staying!
As for the suggestion of war... Completely barbaric!
All opinions are heard, appreciated and accepted. However this does not mean all are agreed upon! And I must say, attacking others in the dame of "defence" doesn't seem terribly moral nor logical does it? Why, on the contrary, we'd be invading them! And that would simply not do. At least, not until the 5% of UN disapprovers get anywhere near powerful enough to sway public opinion on our glorious and most harmonious nation of Planet Earth. Are we really so keen to put an end to the era of unfettered tranquility that we are to place war machines in the virgin expanse of the Sol System?
(OOC, I'm actually ok with the idea of taking offensive actions or fortifications if you guys are ok with it. But public opinion largely remains stalwart that diplomatic solutions are thus far the proper way forward).

These foul Xenos are hard at work sullying space already! Surely you won't allow these plants to take Utopia away from us?
Oh... You're not one of
those faction extremists are you? Rest assured, no plants are coming to earth to take our utopia.
No, you see, if we pollute space we become like the aliens. Besides, it would mean there's less money for developing new hypernet videos...
wait, what I was talking about? right, here's a cool video of a 5-d cat. and here are 500 more. who would want to go to space when there are cat videos to watch
5-d cats are cool but there's nothing quite like the cats of classical antiquity
They were simpler times.
You can probably cut a few good trade deals with all the tech and resources we're accumulating...
...though you do need to explore to get new ideas, right? That's how it works?
Nah, we're coming up with all sorts of great ideas here at home! Don't really see what's out there in space that is worth risking many lives over. Perhaps a trade deal could be useful, but we are yet to find a species that wishes to trade with us sadly.
Not even GOING to space now, they're drones. Orbital laser drones.
If we put drones on orbit, they'll block the view of the night sky! That is obviously unacceptable! It'll be even worse if they fire!
Oh... How ghastly. And just think the light pollution concentrated laser beams could cause! When I look up at the night sky I want to see the stars, not an empty blackness threatening to misalign my reawakened chakras. I could probably live without seeing the Sponsored by Sodabeans Energy Bullet Star
tm though.
you don't understand physics kill yourself kindly
Aww you too <3

It's bad enough that our moon has become unstuck, now we have to look up and see drones? Eugh, no!
I hear another good argument against orbital defence platforms. The void is a pure space
