Nuclear weapons are exploded at altitude. To find the optimum height of burst for any weapon yield, the cubed root of the yield in kilotons is multiplied by the ideal H.O.B for a 1 kt blast, e.g. the optimum height of burst for a 500 kt weapon is ~ 1745 m "Unbotanium" is a mineral. A rock. It would be fine.

I'm not going to get very involved with this argument, but I think the reason they didn't destroy the moon is because the company is probably limited in what they can do from a attack standpoint. That's why they have a research team investigating the nature of the planet. They start attacking when it's apparent that the natives are not going to play ball. Then mass hysteria is even more embedded when the general guy shows that the Navi might be planning an attack on the base.

Research is a secondary task, but it's still a task.

Now, as far as the future of the movies, I don't know. They basically went to war with the earth. It'll be interesting to see how future story lines are handled.
