If this involves people attacking/mining/building the moon, then that might mean...

RWBY. IN. SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.

I very much support the idea.

But on a more serious note, I have a feeling that the moon does protect Remnant in some way. In I May Fall, they say "when the moon is gone" while listing hopeless circumstances, implying that the loss of the moon would be a real problem. And in the extended intro in episode 1, we see the moon crumble into Rose petals all at once, the skin turning red. I think that this means that the braking moon is a harbinger of bad things to come.
