Kerbin's Moons, Like early earth's???

[Dockillar]

You may or may of not of heard of this theory, but its possible that earth back billions of years ago had two moons, but according to the theory, the other smaller crashed into the other. Could the same process of formation the Mün and Minmus be the same? In my opinion, it makes sence, the Müns greater gravitational influence and size could of flung Minmus into a more, inclined and eccentric orbit around Kerbin, making Kerbin's moon system's formation just like ours except the other moon being flung out farther.

After all, it's just a theory, but what do you all think?

Yeah, too bad our Moon was such a hungry hungry hippo. With two moons i reckon our space program would look very different than now.

Minmus is a geologically impossible natural satelite.

I thought the Earths Moon came from the Earth itself when a large planetary body impacted the Earth while it was still semi-molten, the debris coalest over time into the Moon and the rest fell to Earth. Here is a wiki article on it, but I found out about it on Nova. It is a Hypothesis though just like any other planetary formation theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_impact_hypothesis.

@OP what you hypothesize though is possible, at least in Kerbal physics, since in the real world the Kerbal universe could not exist and would probably implode upon itself shortly after creation.

The giant impact hypothesis is the strongest one we've got and on the verge of going into the realms of a theory.

Minmus in real world would be pretty much impossible. Perturbations are a big problem.
