Stealing the Moon: A How to Guide
The moon has been a fixture in our solar system for an untold amount of years, scarred with tens of thousands of meteorite impacts not obscured in the least by its nonexistent atmosphere. It orbits us once a month, growing from an empty sky to a full moon in twenty eight and a half days. It pulls on our oceans from all the way in space causing the tides twice a day and it is the only other planet man has yet to personally visit. It is so close to us but suprisingly we know an alarmingly little amount about it, its formation is a scientific mystery and startling enough its leaving us at a rate of 3.8 cm a year. Throughout the moons life it has moved about 1 million meters farther away from earth than where it formed. Now if the moon is already leaving how much more help would it actually need?
