Of course, he is right in that one can move Luna by
waving a very small amount of mass in its near vicinity.
The catch is that the Moon will move only a very small
amount; it's a conservation of momentum calculation.
Take a 1 kg ball on a stick 1 meter in length, sticking
straight up from the lunar regolith. Remove the ball and
place it near the base of the stick. The moon has moved.
How much has it moved? About 1.3605 * 10^-23 m.
It's going to take a little more than that to move the Moon to L1. ;-)
