Re^3: What would be the most significant thing to happen if a rope (or wire) tied the Earth and the Moon together?by Ratazong (Monsignor) |

Yes. Once we get the moon to be stable above one point of the earth, there would be (nearly) no force on the rope, and we might get the effect of a Space Elevator. But the difficulty would be to get the moon into a suitable position, so it could serve as a counterwight. This would probably lead to a lot of changes on earth, e.g related to the tides. Or to Astrology. But I'd like to focus on the opportunities, e.g rope-climbing-competitions ;-)
