Wouldn't it be cool to have more than one moon? I was just watching A New Hope and when Luke was on Tatooine in the beginning, there were two moons, one rising and one setting.

It would be unadvisable to have more then one moon. It would destabalive the planetary tilt, and basically fry everyone on the planet

And play havoc with the ocean tides.

I think the gravity keeping the Earth together comes into play somewhere too...

Tatooine had two suns. In a New Hope, Luke was watching the "Suns" set.

ohhh...
still. If it all worked out and the earth's climate didn't shift at all, it would be cool.

It could be possible. Conditions would have to be just right. It would be a delicate balance, but not much difference then the delicate balance we depend on right now.

It wouyldn't work at all. The Earths tilt is exactly and I mean EXACTLY where it needs to be.
The one way that you could keep this tilt with two moons would require an intelligent species to hold it in place. And it would wreck havock with our eco system, and probably resault in a geo stationary orbit... a big no no.
Plus it would block to much sunlight from reaching the earth, and would result much colder climates.

Well, it's not like we aren't going to blow ourselves up.

But this whole thread is about the possibility of two moons, it wouldn't be possible for us to survive two moons, and in most cases the earth probably wont survive either.

Silly me. The thread is about how cool it would be if we had two moons.

Then why is it a serius discussion in the science and technology section
