Ah, I see.  So something just waves its 100 kg mass
just over the Moon and magically moves it to L1?

Right.

And how long did you want this movement to take again?

Um....why would one want to boost a supercomputer over
the Moon in order to direct its motion?

As for the spare trillion -- I'll have to ask my Nazi
Jewish supervisors.  I'm not authorized to dole out that
sort of funding. ;-)
