well... the hirosha and nagasaki A-bomb explosions affected earths orbit
slightely, i suppose if you made some sort of large 'indestructible' dishes
that you could use to detonate H-bombs.

you would need about 5 dishes placed at points that would make a shape
similar to a nintendo D-pad to be able to partially control the bodys
trajectory.

now this would do the job slowly, but it would most likely do the job.

Now moving a giant body from one place to another is obviously a sci fi
staple, so I expect a lot of references to various books, but it would also
be cool to hear some random ideas out of the blue.

For visual impact I keep imagining city sized thrusters spaced out evenly
over one side of the planet.  Or maybe a massive super thin/strong net
covering the whole planet, pulled on the other side by some space tugs.

Ideas?
