Well, he certainly advised them ON nuking it anyway. Joel Send a noteboard - 05/12/2012 10:50:32 PM
The part I read only says Sagan contributed to calculations regarding the effects on dust on the moon.

And it surely fits the "nuke Mars for terraforming" idea he pushed in the '80s. Personally I always thought that a Trojan horse for nuclear disarmament, but it was pretty wacky on any basis—yet it made the only sense I could find in this story featuring his name in a plan to nuke the moon.
