Make the radius of the Earth 20 times bigger and then make the radius of the Moon as big as the new radius of Earth.
CEL:
setradius { object "Sol/Earth" radius 127562 }
setradius { object "Sol/Earth/Moon" radius 127562 }
CELX:
object1 = celestia:find("Sol/Earth")
robject1 = object1:radius()
object2 = celestia:find("Sol/Earth/Moon")
object1:setradius(20*robject1)
robject1 = object1:radius()
object2:setradius(robject1)
